The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 791 Monarchs and ministers do not bear each other, and the next life will restore the monarch and ministers (6.4k)

The drums are like thunder, and the whistle is piercing.

With the sound of rumbling horseshoes, the heavy cavalry of the Han and Ming armies collided suddenly, and the fiery red banners and the khaki banners merged together.

The sound of broken bones continued to be heard, the wailing of war horses, and the roar of knights sounded one after another.

The cavalrymen of the Han and Ming armies all roared and sent out their weapons, stabbing fiercely at the enemy.

None of the heavy armored cavalry charging forward, regardless of Hamming, was spared, and the first wave of shock had already wiped them all out.

In the battle on horseback, countless people turned their backs on their backs, and stumps and broken weapons flew in all directions.

The knight on horseback fell off the horse, and was immediately trampled into a pulp by countless war horses, who fell down amidst the wailing of the horses and was also submerged in the crowd.

"Wan Sheng!"

Amidst the roar of mountains and tsunami, Ma Chao jumped into the cavalry formation of the Han army with his horse and gun raised.

Even though he was in the formation of thousands of troops, there was no trace of fear in Ma Chao's eyes.

Seeing the armored cavalry in the cavalry formation of the Han army rushing in like a tide, he just pulled the reins lightly and slightly adjusted the charge of the horse. The gun light was like pear blossoms, and several gun flowers appeared in front of Ma Chao.

The cavalry pawns of the Han army fell off their horses one after another before they even got close to Ma Chao, without even touching Ma Chao's robe.

One after another, the cavalrymen of the Han army died one after another under Ma Chao's spear, but the brocade robe on Ma Chao's body was not even stained with blood.

On the other side, Pang De also broke through the cavalry formation of the Han army with a spear in his hand.

The two came out of Liangzhou together, and they are about the same age, and because of the Liangzhou battle, although they have become friends now, they don't want to let go.

They all want to win the first victory in this battle - beheading Sun Jian!
The more than a thousand cavalry of the Ming army are all heavy cavalry, while the cavalry of the Han army only has more than [-] cavalry in the front are heavy cavalry, and the rest of the cavalry are all ordinary cavalry.

The gap between the cavalry of the Han army and the cavalry of the Ming army is no longer a star.

The cavalry of the Ming army traversed across the southern part of the desert, and were powerful in the northern part of the desert. However, the cavalry of the Han army lived in the south for a long time, and there was no good horse farm for them to drive, and no place for them to train.

After traveling thousands of miles and fighting continuously for many days, the cavalry of the Han army were exhausted.

After less than a moment of confrontation, the gap between the two armies was already seen.

A large number of knights fell from their horses, but most of them were Han cavalry in red clothes, and there were very few Ming knights who fell off their horses.

This was not an evenly matched battle at all. The battle had turned into a unilateral crush shortly after the two armies took over.

"roll!"

Sun Jian's eyes were red and he roared angrily.

The sharp ancient ingot knife cut through the armor of one Ming army cavalry soldier after another, but his body was also covered with scars.

He was stabbed in the chest by a Ming army's spear, but because of the angle, the spear cut away from his armor and did not penetrate his armor, allowing him to continue sitting on the horse.

The huge pain from his chest made it hard for Sun Jian to breathe, but Sun Jian couldn't stop.

When encountering on a narrow road, the brave wins. Once the cavalry charges and stops, it is the end of the confrontation. It is the final end until they completely kill the enemy's formation, or die in the enemy's formation, and are trapped in the enemy's formation.

Where Sun Jian's banner was located was the key attack area of ​​the Ming army.

At this moment, Sun Jian's mood was already confused, and his sword skills became more and more messy. He only had eyes on the enemy in front of him, and he didn't notice that two teams of armored cavalry from the Ming army were charging straight towards his direction.

Ma Chao and Pang De, one on the left and one on the right, cut through the cavalry formation of the Han army without hindrance like two extremely sharp knives, and rushed straight towards where Sun Jian was.

The horses are galloping, and the banners are shaking.

The sky-shattering shouts of killing, as well as the continuous piercing and sharp noises made Sun Jian's consciousness extremely confused.

But what really made Sun Jian lose his fighting spirit was the outcome of the battlefield.

Sun Jian knew very well that they had already lost, and they had lost all their chances...

He finally understood why Xu An dared to put the big banner in the front position, and he finally understood why Xu An wanted him to attack.

Everything was in Xu An's plan, but he walked forward step by step according to the steps set by Xu An, with [-] Han troops and the main force of the Northern Expedition. They are walking towards the trap set by Xu An, towards the endless abyss...

Yuan Shao is dead, and the state of Wei is about to collapse.

After the Ming army defeated the main force of the Northern Expedition led by him, they could take over the entire area north of the Yellow River without hindrance.

Ju Yi, who led the last [-] Wei troops in Qingzhou north of the Yellow River, is from Liangzhou. Once the Ming army wins this battle, the hope of Ju Yi returning to the Han court is extremely slim.

And once it is attached to the Ming army, the Han court will have no chance to seize the northern border, and even the southern states and counties will be difficult to preserve.

In order to prepare for the Northern Expedition, they prepared for nearly a year, mobilized almost all the elites, and mobilized all the generals.

One wrong step, one wrong step, one careless move, and the whole game is lost.

They miscalculated the time from the beginning, and the defeat was actually doomed from that moment on.

The haze of defeat shrouded Sun Jian's head, making it difficult for him to see the road ahead and perceive the changes around him. All he could perceive was the enemy in front of him.

Ma Chao's eyes were like lightning, and he had already locked in on Sun Jian's position in the cavalry formation.

Sun Jian was wearing a red robe, and the red headband on his head had already proved his identity. Without hesitation, Ma Chao suddenly grabbed the horse's belly, and drew out the spear in his hand like a dragon. The cavalry pawn of the Han army fell under the horse in an instant.

"die!"

Ma Chao's eyes were shining with excitement, Sun Jian's eyes were not on him at all, he must have made a contribution with this shot!

As long as Sun Jian is beheaded, the number one general of the Han court, he will win the first victory in this battle, and he can surpass Lu Bu in one fell swoop and become the number one general of the Ming court!

Conferring marquis and worshiping generals is just ordinary!
"clang----"

Ma Chao's eyes were slightly fixed, and his expression suddenly changed. A huge force suddenly hit his arms along the barrel of the gun, almost making it difficult for him to hold the spear in his hand.

A spear separated his sure-hit lance.

When the two horses crossed each other, Ma Chao could see who was coming. The owner of the spear was a burly, bearded and tiger-eyed general who was astonishingly powerful.

Ma Chao's heart trembled slightly, and he rode the formation to hedge, the opportunity was fleeting, and after losing this opportunity, Ma Chao had no way to turn around and fight again, so he could only continue to rush straight ahead.

Pound on the side also failed to make a contribution, and Sun Jian also did not respond much to his attack.

But a bearded, red-faced Han general with a long knife cut off the spear he stabbed at Sun Jian.

The horses are galloping, riding forward.

Outside Fanyang City, the sound of thirty-three yellow sky war drums resounded through the sky.

The setting sun was like blood, reddening the entire sky and the earth.

The sun is setting at sunset, and the sun on the distant horizon has only left a tiny corner.

The [-] Han army collapsed, and the final impact of the Ming army completely defeated the Han army's formation, crushed their fighting will, and shattered their last struggle.

The army was defeated like a mountain.

Outside Fanyang City, tens of thousands of Han troops fled in embarrassment like bereaved dogs, fleeing northward in panic. They had been completely defeated by the Ming army.

The tens of thousands of cavalry troops of the Ming army on the two wings divided the fleeing Han army into three parts.

Those who kneel and surrender will not die!

All the rest, beheaded!
In the second year of the Ming Dynasty, June [-], at dusk.

The scene outside Fanyang City is somewhat similar to the scene outside Guangzong City, but the difference is that the Han army used to be the winner, but now they are the loser.

……

The world didn't know why it turned upside down.

Sun Jian opened his eyes, looking at the scene in front of him in confusion.

His face was half cold and half hot.

It seems that half of it has been soaked in water.

Consciousness slowly returned to his mind, and something echoed in him, as if he had been knocked down to the ground.

Something hit his helmet hard, and he was smashed to the ground.

Supporting his body, Sun Jianqiang staggered up from the muddy bloody ground.

There are army soldiers lying on the ground everywhere in front of them. The red clothes and the yellow clothes have long been indistinguishable. They are all stained red with blood and polluted by mud.

The blood flowed down the top helmet on Sun Jian's head, and flowed to Sun Jian's eyes. The thick blood made Sun Jian's eyes slowly turn into blood red, covering Sun Jian's vision, making it difficult for him to see the surrounding scene clearly. .

Sun Jian raised his hand and wiped away the blood in front of his eyes, only then was he able to see the surrounding scene clearly.

Flying all around were no longer the fiery red flags he was familiar with, but dusty khaki flags one after another.

In front of him were cold iron faces one after another, pitch-black shields one after another, long spears glowing with cold light one after another, surrounded by soldiers of the Ming army in a tight formation.

Noisy killing sounds penetrated into Sun Jian's ears again, and the strong and unpleasant smell of blood was once again perceived by Sun Jian's nose and mouth.

More than a dozen soldiers of the Han army, Sun Jian, who held the ring sword in their hands, guarded the center, and Xu Zhu, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were also among them.

Their bodies were covered with scars, and their faces were covered with blood.

Cheng Pu...

Sun Jian looked around, but he didn't find Cheng Pu among the standing crowd.

A shrill neigh not far away attracted Sun Jian's attention.

Sun Jian followed his reputation and saw the yellow puma that was carrying him.

At this time, the yellow puma fell down less than twenty steps away from him. It lowered its head, panting heavily, and its eyes were on itself.

Dripping blood was continuously flowing from its body, and it carried a lot of arrows on its body, but the real fatal injury was a spear that pierced through its chest, and the blood flowed down the spear.

Sun Jian's body trembled slightly, and his memory returned to the riding battle outside the city of Kuicheng. The horse with the sideburns, which had been loaded for many years, was staring at him with this kind of eyes.

Blood drenched Sun Jian's body, the sky was getting darker, and the temperature was dropping. Sun Jian felt that his body was getting colder and colder.

Severe pain came from his abdomen.

Sun Jian looked down at his abdomen, where there was a penetrating injury, his breastplate was pierced, and blood was slowly flowing out of it.

He has been fighting for many years, it is not that he has not been injured, he is conscious, he knows that the armor on his abdomen has protected him, although it was penetrated, it also prevented him from dying immediately, the injury was not serious, and the enemy's weapon did not go too deep.

Sun Jian slowly echoed those things he had forgotten.

They lost...

Frustrated...

Cheng Pu fell under the horseshoes of the Ming army's cavalry, precisely to protect him in the cavalry.

The sound of Jin Ge's attack came again, and the sound of heavy panting resounded in the encirclement of the Ming army.

Sun Jian looked up at the source of the voice, and the Ming army launched another attack.

Those yellow angels who were wearing heavy armor and almost covered by armor stepped into the encirclement net under the leadership of the Ming army general.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

The sound of crossbows rang out one after another in the Ming army's formation, and several Han soldiers who hadn't reacted were immediately shot down to the ground, and the other Han soldiers raised their shields to block.

Xu Zhu held up a tower shield and stood in front of Sun Jian, blocking the arrows that were coming at him. The arrows penetrated deeply into the shield surface of the tower shield, and the arrows even penetrated the back of the shield.

The powerful crossbows in the hands of the soldiers of the Ming army were so powerful that they were already within the armor-piercing range of the crossbow machine at such a short distance.

However, the soldiers of the Han army who fell to the ground with the arrows did not die immediately. The Ming army crossbow shot their legs and feet instead of the chest and abdomen and other deadly places.

The encirclement nets of the Ming army were placed very close together. If the crossbow machine fired flatly, if it missed, it would be easy to accidentally injure friendly troops not far away.

"Tatatatat——"

There was a sudden sound of orderly footsteps in the formation of the Ming army.

Sun Jian's eyes were slightly fixed. A group of soldiers of the Ming army, wearing yellow scarves on their heads and battle robes full of scriptures, almost covered by armor, came out more and more, holding short-handled iron hammers and double-arc shields.

Sun Jian's pupils dilated slightly, and he knew that it was the Yellow Angel in the Ming army.

Now he has reached the end of the road, and these yellow angels are the messengers who sent him into the underworld...

"call out----"

The whistle sounded again, and all the advancing yellow angels stopped in their tracks. All the soldiers of the Ming army also stopped their movements at this moment, and their eyes all looked in the same direction.

Sun Jian raised his eyes, and a tall khaki-colored banner first came into Sun Jian's eyes, followed by nine sun, moon and star flags, and then countless horned dragon flags fluttering in the wind.

The sound of horseshoes sounded, and the well-organized formation of the Ming army slowly separated to the left and right, freeing a wide road.

"Xu An..."

Sun Jian's face was gloomy. Looking at the person in front of him, Sun Jian would never forget that face forever.

Staring at Xu An who was surrounded by a group of soldiers not far away, Sun Jian's expression became more and more serious.

If God gave him another chance, he would have killed Xu An when he was in Guangzong, and killed this wolfish and ambitious rebel!
It's a pity that all of this is nothing but illusion after all.

It is impossible for him to return to the past, and in the past he could not have imagined what would happen today.

I don't know when everything started to change.

Those yellow scarves that he had dismissed at first had the power to defeat them, such a terrifying power.

In the end what happened……

Sun Jian's heart was ashamed, and his eyes gradually became blurred. .

Is it true that destiny no longer favors the Han Dynasty?
Did their ancestors really no longer protect them?
Why……

Old memories slowly surfaced in Sun Jian's mind.

In the first year of Yonghan (189), on July [-], Sun Jian met Liu Xie for the first time.

He walked into the palace of Chen Du, and stood outside the palace waiting for the summons inside, but the one who waited was Liu Xie who came to greet him in person.

"General Sun please come up."

Just as he knelt down on the ground, Liu Xie stepped forward to hold his arms, helped him up from the cold ground, and stopped him from saluting.

If Liu Xie's experience at that time was placed on the body of an ordinary child, and he experienced so many hardships in a short period of time, he would have been panicked and speechless.

But when Sun Jian saw Liu Xie at that time, there was no fear on Liu Xie's face, all he saw from Liu Xie's face was firmness.

The young emperor who had just re-enthroned and became the emperor of the Han Dynasty stood in the hall with a firm face and earnest words. He pinned all his hopes on him, and put the highest authority and all his wealth and life together. entrusted to him.

"Today, Sun Jian is granted the title of Inspector of Yuzhou, receiving a holiday, and ranks among the Nine Ministers!"

……

"Dong Zhuo and I used to be generals in the same account, so there was no enmity at all. Now I risk my own life, risking arrows and stones, and come to fight to the death of the warriors. On the one hand, I seek thieves for the country, and on the other hand, I want to avenge the murder of the general's family..."

Facing Yuan Shu, his heart was filled with endless anger, but he could only bow his back.

The successive fierce battles and the starry night gallop made him almost reach the limit both physically and mentally.

He persuaded Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu held his hand again...

……

Taigu was victorious, and the soldiers entered Luo.

He defeated Dong Zhuo and recovered Luoyang.

He was granted the title of general by Jin and added the title of Marquis of Wanhu. That was his most glorious time.

Accompanied by it, there are countless gossip.

In Chen Duzhong, I don't know when some rumors began to spread, and there are even many details in it.

The one who framed him, Sun Jian, for rebellion, and the one who said that he has made great achievements, that the cunning rabbit is dead, that the lackey is cooking, and so on...

"I, Liu Xie, solemnly swear here."

Inside the Dongming Hall, Liu Xie raised his palm and solemnly swore his oath.

"If one day I break my oath today, listen to slander, and kill heroes, then fate will never favor my Han family!"

Those oaths are still ringing in my ears to this day.

Regarding what happened in Chen Duzhong, although Sun Jian was ignorant of politics, how could he not know.

Liu Chong's thoughts, Wang Yun and others' contempt for him, and Liu Biao's distrust.

The gossip in the court, the swords and guns in the court, were all blocked by Liu Xie.

The supplies sent to Yanzhou Daying have never been delayed, and Liu Xie has not broken the oath he once made.

In the fourth year of Chuping (193), November [-]th.

Amidst the objections of the courtiers, the emperor resisted all opinions and still issued an edict, ordering him to be the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition, to lead the Northern Expedition, to be the prime minister with full powers, and to reward the troops of the Northern Expedition with a hundred cars.

Along with the reward edict, there was also a silk letter, which was a private letter from Liu Xie to him. On the silk letter, there was no long speech, only eight short words.

"Dongming's oath will never be forgotten."

……

What if this destiny really no longer favors the Han Dynasty?
Why give it a chance to rejuvenate.

Why give them such hope?
Is it true that as Taipingdao said, the sky is really dead...

The so-called resurgence opportunity is nothing but the struggle made by the dying sky, the last flashback...

Sun Jian leaned on the ancient ingot knife and slowly stood up straight, facing Xu An.

Death was coming, but at this moment, Sun Jian felt extremely peaceful in his heart.

His chest was no longer hot, his mind gradually calmed down, and his red eyes gradually became clear.

It's just a pity that he didn't capture Fanyang earlier. If he could capture Fanyang earlier, maybe everything could be rewritten.

It's just that history cannot be changed, and what has happened cannot be changed.

They were defeated, so they could only swallow the consequences and accept the failure.

Even if he could escape from birth, he would not have the face to meet the emperor.

His strength was slowly disappearing along with the blood flowing down from his body, and his body was getting colder and colder, making it extremely difficult for him to even keep standing.

Sun Jian raised his head again and looked around. He saw that the sanitation guards around him were already exhausted.

These soldiers who have followed him from Jiangdong and Wujun all the time, but there are only the last dozen or so left.

Xu An looked at him with extremely cold eyes, and Sun Jian knew that there was no reason for him to escape.

Falling into Xu An's hands, death is the ultimate destination, but it will never usher in death immediately.

Even death may not be liberating.

In the past, that was how they dealt with Zhang Jiao and the Yellow Turban Army.

After death, those undead still cannot find peace.

They suffered hardships in front of them, and their bodies were still destroyed after death.

Sun Jian slowly pulled out the sword from his waist.

The sword was unsheathed, and the cold light caught people.

The blade of the sword reflected Sun Jian's blood-stained face.

"The monarch and his ministers are not responsible for each other, and the next life will return to the monarch and his ministers..."

Sun Jian looked calm, staring at the setting sun in the distance, wearing the afterglow of the setting sun.

With all his strength, he raised the sword in his hand, loosened the ancient ingot knife used to support his body, and stood up relying on his own strength.

Xu An looked at Sun Jian with complicated emotions.

He and Sun Jian were enemies from beginning to end, but this did not prevent Xu An from admiring Sun Jian.

In the troubled times, the princes from all walks of life have different ideas, even the children of the Liu family have their own plans.

There are righteous men in Kanto, and they raise troops to fight against the gangsters.

In the early days, when I met with Tianjin, my heart was in Xianyang.

The army is not in the same strength, hesitates and walks wildly.

Snobbery makes people fight, and heirs kill each other.

The princes watched from the sidelines, and only Sun Jian led the army northward without hesitation...

What Xu An admired was not Sun Jian, but Sun Jian's character.

When the country is in crisis, there are still people who are loyal to the country. Even if the country is riddled with holes, they still have no hesitation.

The sky and the earth are turning upside down, and the fire is burning; the building is about to fall, and it is difficult to support a tree.

Knowing that the building will collapse, but they are still unwilling to give up, even if it is smashed to pieces, they want to save their country.

"Big guy!"

Sun Jian raised the sword in his hand high, roared impassionedly.

All eyes were on Sun Jian, whether it was the Han army or the Ming army.

"Long live!"

Sun Jian's face was red, and his chest heaved violently because of excitement.

With the sword swung down, Sun Jian held the sword in his hand and launched a final charge in the direction where Xu An was.

"Big man, long live!!!"

In the encirclement, all the Han troops were infected by Sun Jian. They all roared and followed Sun Jian to charge forward.

Xu An's eyes flickered, and all the soldiers of the Ming army were also moved by it. Even as an enemy, a warrior can win the admiration of everyone.

"call out------"

In the formation of the Ming army, the whistle sounded again.

A group of yellow angels who had stopped before moved forward again.

In the sky, the setting sun is fading its light.

The blood-red sunset reflected the blood-stained earth.

The corpses are all over the place, and everything is silent.

The old day is about to fall, and the new day is about to rise.
