When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 290: Capturing 'Dong Zhuo' (4k)

The sound of killing was deafening and the drums of war were beating. Soldiers from both armies were brandishing their swords with all their might, causing dust to fly up in the air. The earth seemed to be shaking. A sense of solemnity was overwhelming. The atmosphere on the battlefield seemed extremely depressing, as if a huge rock was pressing down on one's back, so heavy that it was almost impossible to breathe.

However, it did not seem to have much effect on Huang Zhong. He held a bow and arrow, his back straight, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, enough to see through the obstruction of darkness.

Looking at Wang Hu and Zhang Yun surrounded by sword and shield soldiers, Huang Zhong's face showed no joy or sadness. He raised his arm, hooked the bowstring with his thumb, and pressed the nail of his thumb with his index finger. The arm strength flowed from his arm to between the two fingers, and both fingers exerted force at the same time.

The bow is like a full moon and the string sounds like thunder.

"whoosh"

The arrows shot out like meteors piercing the night sky. Wang Hu only felt a flash of cold light. He was horrified and raised his ring-handled sword, screaming at the top of his voice: "Someone stop it!"

Before he could even shout out the second word "stop", Wang Hu felt a piercing pain in his chest. He was stunned and lowered his head to see that the arrow had pierced his chest like a sharp flying knife. The arrow feathers trembled slightly and blood gushed out of the wound. He no longer had the strength to support his body. His eyes turned black and he fell to the ground, without a sound.

The surrounding infantrymen exclaimed, "Wang Junhou!"

When Zhang Yun saw Wang Hu being killed by an arrow, he immediately lost his composure. Beads of sweat the size of soybeans oozed out of his forehead. Originally, he was somewhat relieved, thinking that the story in the vernacular novel was not true. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yide was not exaggerating!

"Retreat, retreat!"

In a panic, Zhang Yun made a quick decision, but Huang Zhong's arrow was faster than his reaction. After shooting an arrow, he did not stop and drew his bow to shoot again.

"Whoosh-"

The arrow tore through the air as easily as tearing silk, and accurately pierced Zhang Yun's throat, making him lose his combat ability instantly.

The soldiers following Zhang Yun were all stunned. In just a few breaths, their superior was already dead? ! !

Is it really something that ordinary people can do?
The Dong army soldier swallowed hard. Although he couldn't see Huang Zhong's face, he was afraid when he saw Huang Zhong's figure. The morale that was maintained by money collapsed at this moment. Even his superior was dead. What effect could his superior's promise have? It was just empty talk. At this point, life was more important.

In sharp contrast to Dong's infantry was Liu Bei's army led by Huang Zhong.

They saw the two arrows just now. The brilliance of these two arrows instantly pushed the already high morale to the peak. Following such a brave General Huang, what else is there to be afraid of in the world?
As the force of the army weakened, Dong's army could no longer resist the advance of Liu Bei's army. Hundreds of soldiers dropped their weapons and fled in panic.

However, at this moment, the remaining cavalry in Dong's army moved out. The leader looked like Dong Zhuo, and even his armor was exactly the same. The armored men following him shouted at the top of their lungs:
"My friends, Prime Minister Dong is here in person! Don't panic! Prime Minister Dong has never treated meritorious people unfairly. Not only will the previous promise stand, but he will also give extra rewards! As for those who desert the battlefield, they will be killed without mercy!"

The voice was particularly hoarse, but people with sharp ears could recognize it as Li Ru's voice.

Even if the person speaking was Li Ru, the person next to Li Ru must be Dong Zhuo.

After finding Dong Zhuo, the backbone of the army, the fear in the hearts of the middle-level generals gradually subsided.

They picked up their butcher knives and strictly followed Li Ru's military orders, targeting the soldiers who tried to escape without showing any mercy. They killed them with a single stroke of the knife on their necks.

"Prime Minister Dong has issued an order that those who advance will be rewarded handsomely, and those who flee from the battlefield will be killed without mercy!"

The infantrymen were filled with despair when they saw this scene. The only outcome of running away was death. After all, the Prime Minister's cavalry were watching them closely from behind. How could a man outrun a horse?
If you engage the enemy, you may still have a chance to survive, and maybe even get a reward.

As a result, the trend of defeat was abruptly curbed.

The infantrymen of Dong's army grasped their weapons again and fought with Liu Bei's army.

Niu Fu smiled smugly when he saw this. He lowered his voice and said with a smile: "Wenyou, it's all thanks to you, otherwise we would have lost!"

Li Ru, whose throat was so dry that it was about to smoke, did not relax his frown. His eyes were full of worry, and his hands were clenched into fists, with his nails digging into the flesh. The situation was worse than he thought. The impact of the night on Liu Bei's army was far less than that on their infantry.

I just don't know how long it can last.
Even though he was full of worries, Li Ru pretended to be relaxed and said, "General Niu, I still have to rely on you."

"You and I are brothers and a family. There is no need to talk about different things. There is no such thing as relying on each other or not. Wen You, just give me your orders." Niu Fu became interested and reached out to pat Li Ru on the shoulder.

Li Ru smiled with a fake smile on his face. Now that things have come to this, is he still pretending?
Wait a minute
Is it possible that he misunderstood Niu Fu?

At this moment, the sound of drums in Liu Bei's army suddenly stopped, as if the musician had just reached the climax but was abruptly cut off by the nobleman, which made Li Ru and Niu Fu look sideways.

Niu Fu was stunned for a moment, and then he was ecstatic. It was Dong Xiang. It must be Dong Xiang who went around to the rear of the enemy army and caught them off guard. Victory is in sight, victory is in sight!

"?"

A question mark appeared on Li Ru’s forehead. What did Niu Fu mean?

Without waiting for Li Ru to ask, Niu Fu immediately said with a smile, "Wenyou, we are about to win! Let me take over the rest!"

"!" Li Ru's eyes darkened.

Niu Fu, the spy is really you!
As soon as Niu Fu finished speaking, a drum sound far louder than before erupted in Liu Bei's army, like rolling thunder.

Even Li Ru, who was usually calm, couldn't remain calm anymore. Such intense drumbeats showed that Liu Bei wanted to defeat them in one fell swoop!

He issued an order

"Come on, beat the war drums!"

The more critical the moment, the more we cannot show weakness.

However, the seriousness of the matter far exceeded Li Ru's imagination.

"General Huang!"

"General Huang!"

"Your Excellency personally beat the drum, and I volunteered to come and help you!"

Chen Dao came galloping with dozens of cavalrymen. With his arrival, all the soldiers in the front army knew the news of Liu Bei beating the drum. The morale, which had already reached the peak, went up to a higher level and reached the sky.

The heat in their bodies ignited at this moment, and all the soldiers shouted

"rush!!!"

At this moment, the faces of Dong Jun's infantrymen changed drastically. Even with the threat of blades behind them, it was difficult to stop them from retreating.

Huang Zhong, who was leading the charge, stopped and looked at Chen Dao who was running towards him.

"Shuzhi, do you still have the energy to fight again?"

Chen Dao clapped his arms and said loudly: "I can still fight for another three days and three nights!"

Huang Zhong did not pursue the question any further after receiving a positive answer. He asked, "What do you think, my lord and military advisor?"

"Cut off the enemy general's head." The five words uttered by Chen Dao coincided exactly with what Huang Zhong was thinking.

Huang Zhong smiled and said, "Shuzhi, I think the lord and the military advisor ordered me to support you. Just tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"No." Chen Dao shook his head. "I am clearing the obstacles for General Huang. General Huang, please do not be stingy with your arrows. Just draw your bow and shoot! General Huang, please mount your horse!"

Huang Zhong really wanted to say, Uncle Zhi, my strength is not archery, but the situation was urgent and he had no time to care about this. He nodded and quickly jumped on the horse.

Wait a minute.

Did he miss something?
"General Huang, can you shoot the thief Dong?"

Chen Dao's words brought Huang Zhong's thoughts back to the present. Huang Zhong shook his head, "Although the range of the bow and arrow is more than 200 steps, the night is thick. If you want to hit the target and achieve a satisfactory effect, you need to shoot a hundred steps."

"I understand." Chen Dao nodded, "General Huang, just shoot arrows, I will deal with those who block the road!" Huang Zhong sighed: Uncle Zhi really thinks I am a sharpshooter.
But he still responded, "Okay."

Huang Zhong and Chen Dao discussed and came up with a plan in a very short time.

With the help of the firelight, Huang Zhong and Chen Dao looked into the distance, their eyes darting around and soon locked onto Niu Fu, who was wearing Dong Zhuo's armor. The two looked at each other and understood each other's intentions. They galloped on their horses one after the other.

Although Niu Fu's military strategy and bravery were inferior to Xu Rong's, he had followed Dong Zhuo in his battles and was not a stupid person who knew nothing.

He was in the center of the army, and the front army was in close combat. He was not very clear, but he thought that the one who dared to ride at such a high speed in the night must be Chen Shuzhi.

He had heard about Chen Shuzhi's seizure of the spear, which made him quite fearful. However, it was too dark at night, and he did not dare to order the archers to shoot arrows when the two armies were engaged.

He told Li Ru about this.

Li Ru quickly gave an answer, "Use the crossbow. If Chen Shuzhi gets close, use the crossbow to repel him."

"Great, let's do as Wenyou says." Niu Fu called over his personal guard, whose name was Chen Bao and who was a cavalry captain under his command.

"You lead a hundred cavalrymen and you must repel Chen Shuzhi!"

"promise."

Chen Bao clasped his fists and took the military order neatly.

"The leader is Chen Shuzhi, don't stab him with your horse spear yet!"

"Use crossbows, crossbows!"

Chen Bao was galloping on his horse, keeping in mind the instructions of Niu Fu and Li Ru at all times. The incident of Chen Shuzhi causing a disturbance on the battlefield was still vivid in his mind. Such a powerful man was enough to make him be on high alert. However, no matter how powerful this man was, it was impossible for him to avoid his crossbow in person, right?
Seeing Chen Dao rushing over, Chen Bao was delighted. This was within the range of the crossbow. He raised his crossbow and was about to shoot an arrow at Chen Dao when he suddenly felt an arrow suddenly shot out from behind Chen Dao.
Riding horses, night time, archery?

Is he dazzled???

"whoosh"

Before Chen Bao could react, an arrow hit his arm. The pain made his face grim. He let go of the reins and fell to the ground.

As a result, the cavalrymen who wanted to shoot crossbows were surprised to find that before they could aim, Chen Dao was attacked by a cold arrow from behind. After a lot of effort, someone successfully shot the crossbow and hit Chen Dao, but the problem was that Chen Dao's speed did not slow down at all.

Is this person made of iron? Is he not afraid of pain? Why doesn't he frown when a crossbow arrow pierces his armor?

Dong Jun's cavalry were horrified, but what they didn't know was that the crossbow arrow only shot into the outermost iron sheet and didn't even hurt the skin of Chen Dao and others.

There was no other way, so three or five cavalrymen had to stab Chen Dao with lances in hand.

Well done!
Chen Dao's eyes lit up. With General Huang behind him, he no longer had to be cautious and worried all the time. After all, General Huang would be the rear general in the future, and he would be on par with Guan, Zhang and Ma.

He kept swinging his lance, and fierce sparks flew between the lances. Not only were his attacks swift, but each blow was also powerful and severe. Dong's cavalry would often be knocked off their horses in just one round. Even if some of them slipped through his net, Huang Zhong's arrowheads behind him would arrive as expected.

The cavalry they led were unstoppable, and even hundreds of cavalrymen of Dong's army could not stop them.

Seeing this, Li Ru sighed, "The situation is over, the situation is over."

"? Wenyou, what are you talking about?" Niu Fu asked.

Li Ru forced a smile at Niu Fu, "General Niu, Prime Minister Dong has been lying in ambush for a long time, why don't we lure Chen Dao out?"

Niu Fu had no doubts and nodded, which was considered as his agreement.

"General Chen, this is bad! The thief Dong has escaped!"

"what?!"

The shouts of the Bai Li soldiers reached Chen Dao's ears. At this moment, Chen Dao was bloodthirsty. He had just killed a cavalryman with the horse lance of Dong's cavalry. He never expected that the thief Dong would escape.

Even if Chen Dao wanted to chase and kill him, the Dong Jun cavalry blocked his way. What made him even more angry was that the Dong Jun cavalry particularly "valued" him and were willing to block his way even at the risk of their lives.

Chen Dao shouted, "General Huang!"

What made him feel depressed was the response of the Bai Li soldiers.
"General Chen, General Huang, there are no more arrows!"

"Damn it!" Chen Dao spat on the ground. You know, although sharpshooters without arrows can also fight in close combat and are physically stronger than infantrymen, the problem is that they fight on horseback and cannot fight synchronously.

Besides, is General Huang good at horse fighting?

Chen Dao, who had never seen Huang Zhong fight on horseback, couldn't help but feel a little worried. He had heard from Zhang Fei that General Huang died on the way to avenge General Guan, and was shot by an arrow while riding a horse.
Chen Dao knocked Dong's cavalry off their horses, and then the thing he was most worried about happened. Huang Zhong was leading the way, and was dozens of steps away from him, with no Bai Li soldiers behind him.

What made him feel even more uneasy was...

Huang Zhong shouted, "Dong the thief! Give me your life! I want to avenge the people of Luoyang!"

"Hah." Niu Fu's face was full of disdain. How dare a mere person come to kill him? Did he really think he was Xiang Ji reborn?
And this person is not Chen Shuzhi.

Then there is nothing to be afraid of.

There can't possibly be a lot of people as brave as Chen Shuzhi, right?

He signaled with his eyes to the two guards beside him, asking them to thrust out their lances at the same time as him.

"The boy will die"

Niu Fu and his two bodyguards, confident of victory, thrust out their horse spears. At this moment, both Chen Dao and the Bai Li soldiers were heart-pounding.

"Eh?"

"Why did it fail?"

Niu Fu blinked his eyes, feeling something unreal. He looked carefully and found that there was no one on the horse.

He must take back the lance.
Niu Fu felt that his warhorse was out of control. He lowered his head and saw that Huang Zhong had actually turned over from the ground, swung out his ring-handled sword and chopped off the horse's legs. The warhorse then neighed and struggled hard, but unfortunately it still fell heavily to the ground. Niu Fu, who was covered in dust, didn't even have time to get up before Huang Zhong's big hands pressed his shoulders. He grimaced in pain and groaned in pain.

He doesn't understand that this is different from what we agreed!

Huang Zhong shouted, "The thief Dong has been captured! Why don't you surrender immediately?!"

Li Ru, who was not far away, finally sighed with all his words. Facing the horse lances of the Bai Li soldiers, he raised his hands in surrender.

Upon hearing the news, Dong's troops dropped their weapons one after another, and Liu Bei's troops celebrated with thunderous cheers.

"Prime Minister, the front is the border of Bingzhou."

The voices of Li Jue and Guo Si sounded like heavenly music to Dong Zhuo at this moment.

Before he could say anything good, something unexpected happened.

The sound of horse hooves came from the front.

Li Jue and Guo Si stood guard in front of Dong Zhuo and reminded him:
"Prime Minister, there are people coming from the front, be careful!"

　There are some things going on at home, and I'm sorry to hear that it's two-in-one again.
