People in the Three Kingdoms: Starting from Preaching

Chapter 50 Brothers of the same mind
It was like two torrents colliding violently. If you look from the sky, you can clearly see a line with the place of battle. The moment the two sides collided, the Yellow Turbans instantly pushed the entire rebel army back a long distance.

After continuous plundering, the Yellow Turbans obtained a large number of weapons and armor from government offices and aristocratic families in Zhuo County and Gu'an. In addition, the morale and combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turbans continued to rise with the battles. No matter from which perspective, these rebel forces could not compete with the Yellow Turbans.

This was indeed the case. When the two sides engaged in close combat, the Yellow Turbans immediately gained an overwhelming advantage.

Liu Bei and Lu Zhong, who had just heard the noise and were still frightened, rushed out in military uniforms. When they saw their army being forced to retreat, their hearts sank.

Fortunately, when they looked carefully afterwards, they found that the retreat was stopped at once, and the situation changed from a continuous defeat to a slow retreat. This was all thanks to the two big men at the front of the front line who withstood the offensive. These two men were the two fierce generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

The fighting was fierce, but Guan and Zhang led their elite troops like two sharp weapons, constantly tearing apart the Yellow Turbans' front line and forcing them to retreat step by step.

The heavy weapons in their hands danced like flowers under the control of powerful force. Every blow made it difficult for the Yellow Turban soldiers to support. With them breaking the formation in the front, the elite soldiers in the back could quickly follow up and kill them.

Liu Bei and Lu Zhong mounted their horses with swords in hand, fighting the Yellow Turbans while giving orders.

"Second brother, third brother, don't fight too much, just give in and tie them down!"

Liu Bei rode his horse forward, shook off the attacking swords in front of him, and took advantage of the moment to explain to Guan and Zhang.

Guan and Zhang both frowned. They were in the middle of a killing spree, so how could they be willing to just give up? However, it was Liu Bei's order after all, so they would not disobey it. They led their troops to fight and retreat.

Despite this, they did not stop and continued to fight the Yellow Turbans. Although they were retreating, they were very calm.

Wang Dang, who was far away, became furious when he saw this. These were his brothers, how could they be bullied like this!

"Hey, let Wang Dang meet you two!"

With just a roar, Wang Dang drove his horse and took the initiative to meet Guan and Zhang. However, his fighting power was not enough in front of these two people. After only a few rounds of fighting, Wang Dang's weapon fell away.

I saw an iron spear flying towards Wang Dang's head at a high speed. Wang Dang was instantly disheartened. He never expected that there would be such a powerful person in the rebel army. After just a few hits, he was going to die here!
Just as his head was about to be smashed, at this critical moment, several Yellow Turbans suddenly jumped out from Wang Dang's side, armed with swords, spears, and halberds.

Even though Guan and Zhang were extremely brave, they had to hold back when facing the group attack. Wang Dang took advantage of this brief opportunity and immediately dodged back, then felt a strong sense of fear.

When he raised his head and looked at the two big men with red and black faces not far away, he felt his heart tremble. These were the two most powerful men since he joined the Yellow Turban Rebellion!

"Don't commit suicide, concentrate your forces and attack in groups!"

Wang Dang knew that the other side was too strong to be defeated, so he gave up the idea of ​​challenging them and instead led the Yellow Turbans to besiege the two men. The Yellow Turbans gathered around them tacitly, and after a series of attacks, they forced back the enemy soldiers and trapped Guan and Zhang.

In an instant, long and short weapons rushed towards Guan and Zhang from all directions, and the situation became extremely dangerous.

Strong warriors like Guan and Zhang may be very brave in a one-on-one fight, but they will be silent when facing an attack from a hail of spears and swords.

This is not a musou game after all, and personal bravery actually plays a minimal role on the battlefield. After being besieged, Guan and Zhang became increasingly exhausted, and although they moved left and right and wielded their weapons, they could only hold on with difficulty. Soon, they had countless wounds on their bodies. Fortunately, they saw that the situation was not good and fought hard to break out, thus avoiding death or serious injury.

Only after they withdrew from the siege did they reunite with their own soldiers and fight the Yellow Turbans again.

On the other side, Lu Zhong and Liu Bei were also fighting hard. Only when they came into close combat with the Yellow Turbans in person did they feel the terrible pressure.

Each of these Yellow Turbans was strong and brave, and they were not afraid of death when fighting. They were wearing either leather armor or wooden armor, and had sophisticated and sharp weapons in their hands. They were truly unstoppable when fighting.

Liu Bei and Lu Zhong originally thought that they only planned to fight and retreat, and then harass the Yellow Turbans after escaping from the battle in time to buy time for Gongsun Zan and Zou Jing in the rear. As long as they completed the encirclement, the Yellow Turbans would be doomed.

But after the real fighting started, they found that they had overestimated the volunteers in their hands and underestimated the strength of the Yellow Turbans. The expected stalemate between the two sides did not occur, but instead it quickly turned into a one-sided beating.

Especially at the delicate moment of night, when the vision was gradually filled by the darkness, the rebel army couldn't help but fall into panic, but the Yellow Turbans were psychologically unaffected by the fact that they were prepared to fight.

As long as the visual conditions are not conducive to combat, and as long as everyone's vision is not good, there is no advantage or disadvantage, just fight.

The Yellow Turbans already had a much greater force and were much more powerful, so they didn't give the rebels any chance to escape. They quickly slaughtered the rebel army. When it got completely dark, the rebel army was on the verge of collapse.

Lu Zhong and Liu Bei clearly felt the pressure increasing. The number of enemies around them increased visibly, and the battle became increasingly difficult.

When they came to their senses again, they found that they had been surrounded without realizing it. The rebel army showed signs of collapse. The gap in hard power between the two sides was too huge, and the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

Fighting and retreating is simply a joke. The rebels have no way to escape in the chaos of the battle. The night has exacerbated the chaos on the battlefield and magnified the gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides.

Lu Zhong and Liu Bei were both greatly shocked. They looked at each other and knew that the situation was critical, so they loudly issued orders in tacit understanding!
"Brother, please stop pestering me. You may die if you are trapped in the enemy's camp!"

"All troops, follow my orders and flee!"

Both of them shouted, and then Liu Bei drove his horse to rush to Guan and Zhang to support them. Although he knew how brave his two brothers were, they were outnumbered, and if they continued fighting and were besieged, even they would inevitably die of exhaustion.

Guan and Zhang did not continue to fight. They were not afraid of a long battle, but they were afraid of dragging Liu Bei into danger, so they worked together to break out.

After reuniting with Liu Bei, the three brothers worked together and showed even greater bravery. Finally, they managed to break through the three layers of Yellow Turbans encirclement inside and outside, and then rode away together.

The darkness created favorable conditions for the Yellow Turbans' surprise attack, and also facilitated the escape of Liu Bei and his men. The three brothers looked back with a few remaining soldiers in the night and saw that the Yellow Turbans had begun to withdraw from the battlefield, and then walked away in a long line holding torches.

Seeing that they were marching non-stop at night, Liu Bei suddenly became extremely worried.

"The Yellow Turban bandits are incredibly brave, and our remaining troops cannot defeat them. Send someone to urge the army in the rear, otherwise Fanyang will be in danger!"
