People in the Three Kingdoms: Starting from Preaching

Chapter 446 What, the Wei Dynasty is destroyed?

In the wilderness of Lanling, two armies were facing each other. On one side was the Yellow Turbans of Qingzhou led by Lu Ping, the governor of Qingzhou in Xuanxia, ​​and on the other side was the army led by Xiahou Dun, the general of Wei who was guarding Xuzhou. The combined strength of both sides was nearly 100,000, and they had been confronting each other here for half a month.

At this time, they had just finished a great battle, and the condition of the Wei army was not very good. Although the camp was not lost, the morale of the army had dropped significantly.

Xiahou Dun, panting and covered in blood, led his troops on a patrol in the camp. Everywhere he looked, the soldiers were dejected and had lost all their fighting spirit.

In fact, his mood at this moment was not much better than that of the soldiers, but compared to the soldiers, he had a stronger hatred in his heart, and it was this hatred that supported him to continue fighting.

The State of Wei was destroyed.
This sudden bad news completely destroyed the morale of the Wei army. Although Xiahou Dun still had some fighting spirit maintained by hatred, the soldiers all became confused and panicked under the bombardment of this explosive news.

Although Xiahou Dun was anxious about this situation, he was also helpless.

At this time, Xun You, who was accompanying the army, also hurried over. As soon as he found Xiahou Dun, he rushed over anxiously to grab him and hurriedly warned him: "General, there is no time. The Yellow Turbans will surely organize a large-scale attack again. You must boost the morale of the army as soon as possible and prepare for a decisive battle!"

Xiahou Dun frowned and said in a deep voice: "The enemy has just retreated, how can they attack again so soon?"

Xun You slammed his palms and cried out, "General, don't you understand? The Yellow Turbans have been confronting our army for half a month, and they have rarely taken action. Not long after our army learned of the bad news about Xuchang, they immediately launched an attack. What is this? They are testing our army's strengths!"

Xiahou Dun was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about Xun You's words, his expression began to become a little strange.

At this time, Xun You couldn't wait for Xiahou Dun to figure it out slowly, so he didn't beat around the bush and directly explained the current situation.

"Our army can receive news from Xuchang, and so can the Yellow Turbans. That means Lu Ping must have confirmed that Xuchang fell and His Majesty was captured. The small fight before was to test our army's morale. Now after the battle, they have already noticed something. As long as they confirm that our army's morale is unstable, he will of course launch a war immediately!"

All the words were made clear, Xun You's face was as gloomy as water: "It's dangerous now, General, you must prepare to fight to the death immediately!"

Now, Xiahou Dun finally understood the seriousness of the matter. No wonder the Yellow Turbans started attacking as soon as he received the news. It turned out that they were trying to test his background!

His heart sank to the bottom. Now was the time when his own morale was at its lowest. If the Yellow Turbans attacked with all their might, could he withstand it?

Glancing towards the camp, he saw dense military formations in the camp. The only thing that could bring him psychological comfort was his own military advantage. No matter how embarrassing it was for these 70,000 troops to fight against Lu Ping's 20,000 troops, they would not be defeated by the other side in one go.

Looking back again, there were signs of people moving in the Yellow Turban camp in the distance.

Things turned out just as Xun You had expected. The Yellow Turbans were eager to take advantage of the situation.

Xiahou Dun knew that there was no time left and he had to react as soon as possible.

After taking a deep breath, he suddenly came to a high place, then raised two drumsticks, and after a fierce smash, the violent drum sound attracted everyone's attention, and the soldiers turned their heads to look over in a daze.

They saw that Xiahou Dun's eyes were wide open and he was roaring like an evil god.

"Soldiers, the Wei Kingdom is gone, and your Majesty has been captured by the Yellow Turbans, but it doesn't matter. As long as we are not all dead, there is still hope of fighting back.

The Han and Wu states in the south will help us, so we still have a chance to fight back. The Yellow Turbans are not that scary.

As long as you can fight back and bring back His Majesty, all of you will have the merit of saving His Majesty today. By then, you will all be granted titles and noble titles, and you will own countless women, slaves, and land. This achievement will allow your descendants to continue to be rich and prosperous for generations. "After these words were spoken, the soldiers' confused and frightened eyes gradually calmed down, and their thoughts were quickly driven by the words.

Women, land, slaves and other things stimulated their nerves. They were the most beautiful things in their imagination. When Xiahou Dun described these things, they began to fantasize and began to imagine the beautiful life in the future.

Xun You nodded repeatedly as he watched from the side. It seemed that Xiahou Dun was quite good at inspiring people, and the soldiers' emotions were indeed boosted.

However, if this is the case alone, I am afraid it will not be able to influence the overall situation.

Xun You could only sigh from a distance. The situation was unfavorable and they had no choice but to go ahead.

Soon, there was movement in the Yellow Turban camp in the distance.

The Wei soldiers soon became agitated. They found that the Yellow Turbans, who had just retreated, seemed to be attacking again, and this time on a larger scale, as if they were going to launch a decisive battle.

Xiahou Dun's face was calm, and he roared again: "The Yellow Turbans are coming, but don't be afraid. They are just two eyes and one mouth, not some monster with three heads and six arms. Our army has three times their strength. Even if we can't defeat them, it won't be difficult to protect ourselves!"

The army fell silent, and the soldiers' panic calmed down a little. Xiahou Dun's words gave them a lot of confidence.

In any case, the advantage in military strength is real.

At this time, Xiahou Dun jumped down from the height, then turned over and mounted his horse, pointing his sword at the Yellow Turbans in the distance: "All the troops, follow me to meet the enemy!"

The soldiers finally began to show fighting spirit, and they also shouted: "Kill the enemy, kill the enemy, kill the enemy!"

A great war has begun and neither side can retreat.

At the beginning of the war, the two sides had a fierce clash, but soon the momentum of the Wei army dissipated. On the vast battlefield, the Yellow Turbans, who obviously had fewer troops, began to suppress the Wei army one-sidedly.

Xun You at the back of the camp was watching the development of the battle. After a long time, he could only sit down with a sigh.

The more he looked, the more disappointed he became.

The morale that was forcibly raised was immediately exposed as a false nature under the brutal collision. Even the Wei State no longer existed, and the soldiers had no desire to fight at all.

Xun You already understood that everything was over.

In fact, when Xiahou Dun led his army to rescue Xuchang half a month ago, but was caught by Lu Ping halfway, it meant that the situation was out of control. Without external rescue, Xuchang was trapped in the siege. How could it resist the ferocious Yellow Turbans?

After the fall of Xuchang, the remnant army in Xuzhou actually had no foothold. The best options left for Xiahou Dun were to continue to occupy Xuzhou and become a warlord, or to join the Wu and Han kingdoms and live under their protection.

As for the worst outcome, it would naturally be swallowed up by the Yellow Turbans.
