People in the Three Kingdoms: Starting from Preaching

Chapter 132 Brother, go home!
The Yellow Turbans rushed out of the mountains and forests, determined to fight to the death. They charged hard, waving their swords and rushing towards the officers' and soldiers' positions. However, no matter how hard they tried, they could not shake the officers' and soldiers' tight formation, and all their efforts were in vain.

Their own military strength is not as good as that of the officers and soldiers, and their physical and mental condition is extremely poor. It is difficult for them to bring too much pressure to the officers and soldiers.

Zhang He led a group of elite soldiers to support the enemy in the battle. There was no tension or worry about the war on his face. He didn't care about such bandits at all and could easily deal with them.

With a round of dispatch and command, the Yellow Turbans were surrounded by officers and soldiers without anyone noticing.

Zhang Baiqi killed an officer with a single blow of his sword, and when he looked back at the battle situation, he felt extremely desperate. He knew that he was doomed to die after being surrounded, and even if he fought desperately to break out, he could not escape the fate of being hunted down.

He couldn't win, he really couldn't win. Not to mention the lack of troops, even if the troops were equal, Zhang Baiqi felt there was no hope.

The gap between the Yellow Turban refugee soldiers and the officers and soldiers is really too big.

It seems that I will die here today. It's a pity that I can't go to Yuyang to see it with my own eyes. Is it really the last hope of the Yellow Turbans?
Zhang Baiqi found Huang Long in the chaos of the battle and sighed: "Our army is about to be defeated. I have decided to die. After I die, you and your brothers will surrender and beg the officers and soldiers to leave you a way to live."

Huang Long was shocked when he heard this, but he was very dissatisfied and said: "I am not the kind of person who is afraid of death. Brothers, if you want to live, just surrender. But I can't kneel down!"

Zhang Baiqi wanted to say something, but seeing Huang Long's resolute expression, he remained silent.

The two men turned around at the same time, tightened the yellow scarves on their heads, and prepared to join the enemy.

The Yellow Turbans around him seemed to feel the final moment as well.

Although most people were terrified and retreated, there was also a small group of people who quietly gathered around them. It seemed that they would not be alone on this road to death.

Zhang Baiqi was about to order a charge, but at this moment, he suddenly noticed a commotion in the officers' and soldiers' positions. Looking again, he saw a cloud of dust flying in the distant direction, and an army of thousands of people had appeared in the distance.

All the Yellow Turbans were shocked.

Who are the people coming, soldiers or the Yellow Turbans who are here to pick him up?
Soon, Zhang Baiqi and his men found out the answer, because his officers and soldiers' positions responded directly. Five hundred soldiers were immediately dispatched to block them, while the remaining two thousand soldiers all turned to form a battle formation to meet the oncoming attackers.

If that’s the case, then the other party is definitely not a soldier!
Zhang Baiqi and Huang Long were greatly encouraged. They looked at each other and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As long as they could survive, no one wanted to die.

"Brothers from Youzhou are here to pick us up. Everyone, cheer up and hold on. Together, we will fight off the enemy and then we will go to Youzhou!"

From the Yellow Turban camp, there came Zhang Baiqi's loud laughter, which instantly dispersed the Yellow Turbans' panic and pessimism, and cheered up everyone.

In this desperate situation, the arrival of reinforcements is the strongest medicine for them.

Now that their will to survive has been aroused, they can burst out with even more powerful strength. Following Zhang Baiqi's order, everyone shouted loudly and rushed towards the officers' and soldiers' positions.

But the officers and soldiers have stronger combat skills. Even though they only have 500 soldiers, they can fight back and forth with the Yellow Turbans, and even have the upper hand. It's just that it's hard to tell who will win for a while, and the new reinforcements suddenly become the key to the situation.

Zhang He glanced back and saw that the blocking position he left behind successfully stopped Zhang Baiqi and his men, so he turned his attention to the newly arrived Yellow Turban reinforcements.

The moment he discovered the enemy reinforcements, he estimated the enemy's approximate strength, which was only about two to three thousand people. Based on his judgment of the enemy's combat effectiveness, he felt that he could definitely fight and was ready to take on the battle.

There is no reason not to accept the military merit that comes to your doorstep.

Originally, he had absolute confidence in this battle, but when the enemy reinforcements really approached, his expression gradually became solemn. At just one glance, he could tell that this reinforcement was unusual.

The tight and orderly marching formation immediately showed a completely different appearance from that of ordinary bandits.

Even just looking at this point, Zhang He felt that he had underestimated the opponent.

Marching in formation is the most basic thing, but it also requires training to be proficient. The strictness of the enemy's formation is even better than that of the officers and soldiers.

He knew from the slightest sign that the enemy's combat strength was probably not bad.

"The central army will attack, and the left and right armies will provide support and cover from the flanks!"

Feeling the enemy's strength, Zhang He had to take it seriously and launched an attack immediately, not giving the enemy troops time to rest, intending to defeat the enemy with a quick attack.

He led his personal guards and the central army to press forward, and before the enemy could stabilize their position, he forced the enemy to engage in battle with a fierce attack.

However, Tian Shitou in the reinforcement position was not panicked at all when he saw the attack of the officers and soldiers. He just waved his hand and ran forward to fight.

Perhaps the officers and soldiers had good combat skills, but Tian Shitou didn't take them seriously at all.

After all, the main body of war is the soldiers. The victory or defeat of a battle is determined by the strength of the soldiers. Tian Shitou can say with great confidence that the warriors of our Yellow Turbans are the real elite!
The two torrents collided head-on, metal clashed, and blood spurted out.

The two armies were fighting and devouring each other. At the beginning, they seemed to be evenly matched. But within an incense stick of time, Zhang He in the rear keenly noticed that his own army had begun to retreat under the pressure of the enemy's attack.

Can’t win?
Zhang He was extremely frightened, but there was no time to think too much. He immediately sent his elite soldiers to attack, intending to turn the situation around at the very beginning of the decline.

But Tian Shitou also took his own actions. A thousand cavalrymen attacked like a gust of wind and began to cut along the edges of the officers and soldiers' positions.

Faced with the cavalry's charge, the officers and soldiers at the corners of the position had no means of resistance at all and were soon scattered and crushed piece by piece. This also posed an increasing threat to the entire position of the army. As long as the attack continued like this, it wouldn't be long before the officers and soldiers' position collapsed.

At this time, both the pressure from the front and the pressure from the flanks and rear wings made the officers and soldiers feel constrained.

When Zhang He saw this situation, he found it unbelievable.

This fighting power is that of the Yellow Turban bandits, are you sure you are not kidding?

He took another careful look and indeed saw yellow scarves tied around the foreheads of the soldiers. There was no doubt about their identities. However, the more he saw this, the more he began to doubt his life.

When will the Yellow Turbans be able to defeat officers and soldiers of equal strength?
"Follow my orders, shrink the formation, and retreat slowly."

After fighting like this for a while, although Zhang He was very reluctant, he had to admit that he really could not win. These Yellow Turbans who appeared out of nowhere were extremely strong. If they continued to fight, his side would really collapse.

Fortunately, although this group of soldiers was not as strong as Tian Shitou's elite Yellow Turbans, their own quality was not bad. Under Zhang He's command, they slowly began to retreat.

There was no chaos during their retreat, and they always maintained their resistance against the Yellow Turbans, like a hard tortoise shell moving slowly.

Although the light cavalry led by Tian Shitou made considerable gains during the pursuit, they were still unable to completely defeat the enemy.

Tian Shitou was not at all anxious about this. A huge advantage of cavalry was that they could maintain extremely strong pursuit pressure. As long as the cavalry was still there, the enemy would be slowly dragged down sooner or later.

Sure enough, although Zhang He tried his best to command, the gap in strength was really difficult to make up. Just as they were able to beat Zhang Baiqi so hard that he couldn't raise his head, now Tian Shitou could also suppress them so much that they couldn't raise their heads.

This group of Yellow Turbans has gone through countless battles along the way. With their firm will and sophisticated equipment, they are now able to defeat any enemy before them.

Even the elite troops led by Zhang He could hardly survive the pursuit of this elite Yellow Turban army.

After a long pursuit, the officers and soldiers' positions finally collapsed, and the entire army was broken up at once. The Yellow Turban infantry in the rear quickly caught up and began to strangle them unilaterally.

Many officers and soldiers could not continue fighting under such circumstances, and they either fled or surrendered.

Zhang He's eyes were wide open, but he could only grit his teeth and say "damn it", then led the remaining troops to flee.

Tian Shitou led the cavalry in pursuit of the victory, killing the enemy continuously along the way, and finally stopped completely when they were near the county town ahead.

Watching the Yellow Turbans going away, Zhang He was speechless for a long time and looked even more depressed. He never imagined that one day he would fall into the hands of the Yellow Turbans. It didn't make sense!
"Find out for me where these Yellow Turbans came from!"

After gathering the remaining hundreds of soldiers and generals, Zhang He turned back into the city covered in dust. It was unknown how long it would take for him to recover from the heavy casualties.

……

Zhang Baiqi, who was far away, saw Tian Shitou returning from the pursuit and excitedly greeted him: "My good brother is so powerful that he can beat the officers and soldiers to the ground. Are all the brothers in Youzhou so strong?"

Huang Long looked at Tian Shitou's 1,000 light cavalrymen and felt a little jealous: "They fought very well! They are elite troops, real elite troops. Even the personal guards around the Great Sage Master might not be as good at fighting as them!"

Witnessing Tian Shitou leading his troops to beat up the officers and soldiers, the two men were overjoyed, not only because they had survived the disaster, but they were also pleasantly surprised by the fighting effectiveness of the Yellow Turbans in Youzhou.

After seeing the scene before them, they realized that what the young brother from Youzhou had boasted about his own fighting power was probably true.

If they were to replace themselves with an army like this, they would not even dare to think about it.

Tian Shitou dismounted and bowed to the two men, then said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, brothers. I, Tian Shitou, am here to take you home on the orders of the leader!"

go home……

Hearing these two words, Zhang Baiqi and Huang Long were both stunned, but then they felt an inexplicable warmth in their hearts.
