I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 847 Bloody Killing (Chapter 5K8)

"what?!"

"You said this is a trap?!"

On the road, Zhang He and Qu Yi were obviously startled by this sudden action. They looked at the strange young officer in front of them vigilantly and were a little at a loss for a moment.

Seeing the two men's puzzled expressions, the lieutenant hurriedly said, "Generals, everything I said is true!"

"Chapter 18 Geng and Commandant Ju have become suspicious of you two. They summoned you to the central army under the pretext of discussing matters, but in reality they want to place you under house arrest and then take over your troops."

Zhang He and Qu Yi looked at each other, and there was a hint of surprise and gratitude in their eyes.

Zhang He quickly calmed down. He first glanced at Geng Wu's personal soldier who was leading the way. Seeing that the man was not paying attention to this place, he hurriedly asked in a low voice:

"What's your name? Why are you helping us?"

The lieutenant quickly replied, "I am Zhou Fu, born in a good family in Changshan. My family has been loyal for generations. I have long been disgusted with the actions of the Han envoy and Geng. I have also heard that General Su is a man of unparalleled benevolence and righteousness, and is devoted to the Han Dynasty. I also want to find a way out for myself, so I dare to come and tell the two generals."

Qu Yi laughed: "Good boy, you have courage! We will remember your kindness today. If you can survive this disaster, we will definitely not treat you unfairly."

Zhou Fu nodded hurriedly: "Thank you, generals. Time is running out. Generals, please make plans quickly."

Looking at Zhou Fu walking away in a hurry, Zhang He and Qu Yi secretly rejoiced in their hearts.

“I would rather believe that something exists than something that doesn’t exist.”

Zhang He lowered his voice and said to Qu Yi:
"We must act now without delay. Otherwise, if we are really controlled by Geng, all our years of hard work and the future of our brothers will be ruined."

"That's right, we can't delay any longer."

Qu Yi agreed:
"Now let's return to our respective units and mobilize our troops to launch the attack first. As long as we can hold out until General Su arrives, defeating Geng will be a piece of cake!"

The two men had made up their minds, so they pretended nothing had happened and continued to follow Geng Wu's personal soldiers. As soon as the personal soldiers turned around, they immediately turned their horses' heads and galloped towards their own troops.

"Stop! Where are you going?" The shouts of Geng Wu's personal soldiers came from behind, followed by a burst of hurried horse hooves.

Zhang He and Qu Yi did not even turn their heads, but urged their horses to speed up.

As Qu Yi ran, he shouted to Zhang He, "General Zhang, I will stop the pursuers. You go back to the camp and gather your troops first!"

Zhang He was grateful, but he also knew that this was not the time to refuse. He nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, Captain Qu, be careful. I'll be waiting for you in the camp!"

After saying this, Zhang He squeezed his legs against the horse's belly and galloped towards his own team.

Qu Yi pulled the reins, turned around suddenly, held the spear in his hand, and glared at the pursuing soldiers.

I saw several guardsmen rushing over aggressively, shouting:

"Qu Yi, you dare to disobey military orders, are you planning to rebel?"

"rebel?"

Qu Yi snorted coldly:
"I, Qu Yi, have always been upright, but you guys are helping the tyrant. Today, I will let you see how powerful I, the heroes of Liangzhou, am!"

Before he finished speaking, he squeezed his legs hard on the horse's belly and rushed towards his bodyguards like an arrow.

Qu Yi waved the spear in his hand with a flash of cold light, and instantly he engaged in a battle with Geng Wu's personal soldiers.

Zhang He rushed back to the military camp and shouted as soon as he entered the camp: "Brothers, assemble! There is an urgent military situation!"

When the soldiers heard the commander's call, they put down their work and gathered together quickly.

Zhang He looked at the neatly lined soldiers and said loudly, "Brothers, Han Fu is a traitor and a ruthless villain. Now our army's food and grass have been burned, and the army is in chaos. We are doomed to defeat. General Su is the orthodox of the court, wise and brave, and invincible. I, Zhang He, have decided to lead my troops to submit to General Su and find a way out for my brothers. Are you willing to follow me?"

The soldiers looked at each other and talked a lot for a while.

At this time, Zhang He's cousin Zhang Wang stood up and shouted:
"Brothers, my eldest brother's decision is correct! If we follow Han Fu, we will only end up dead. General Su is the wise leader who can lead us to the light."

"Everyone has seen the great military exploits of the general during this period. Only by following him can we have a future!"

As soon as Zhang Wang finished speaking, several people responded loudly. Led by them, more and more people shouted loudly. For a while, there were so many responses that soon the soldiers under Zhang He were mobilized.

At the same time, Geng Wu felt like he had eaten a fly in his mouth, making him feel extremely sick.

"Asshole! Beast! Trash!"

"There are more than ten of you, and you can't even keep an eye on two people?"

"Even if this can make them run back and cause trouble? What do I want you to do?"

Under the general's flag, Geng Wu was furious and cursed at the dusty and disheveled soldiers, spitting all over the place.

The personal soldiers lowered their heads and dared not even breathe.

It’s difficult, it’s just too difficult.

How could they have imagined that the two men would blatantly disobey orders and run away?
Moreover, he actually killed someone in public.

Before they could react, Qu Yi rushed in and started fighting with them.

Most of their personal soldiers were from the Ding family of the Gengwu clan. Their loyalty was self-evident, but their fighting level was really no match for those big men from Liangzhou.

More than a dozen people were defeated by just two of Qu Yi and his men.

By the time they came to their senses and called for help, Qu Yi had already disappeared on his horse.

"Calm down, Mr.

Ju Su said with a gloomy face:
"Qu Yi and Zhang He's open disobedience clearly proves that the rumors are true. It is imperative that we take immediate action to control the situation. Otherwise, once they raise their arms and incite the soldiers to mutiny, the consequences will be disastrous."

"You're right."

Geng Wu took a deep breath and gritted his teeth:

"But Zhang He and Qu Yi are both great generals. If they can both cause chaos, who else can we trust?"

"General Cheng Huan is the confidant of Envoy Han. His loyalty is beyond doubt."

Ju Su quickly replied:
"You can order him to lead the elite infantry immediately and work with my central army to suppress the rebellion!"

"what?!"

"Zhang He and Qu Yi are in rebellion? The Chief Secretary wants me to go and quell the rebellion?"

Cheng Huan was shocked when he heard the news, and was so scared that he wanted to quit the job on the spot.

Logically speaking, there is Su Yao in front and Cao Cao behind. If their confidants start killing each other, what's the point of fighting this war?

The proper and reliable thing to do is to break out of the encirclement in the chaos and run away as many people as possible.

"Ouch!"

"General Cheng, you can't run away!"

When the messenger saw Cheng Huan jumping onto his horse and calling his personal soldiers as if he was about to run away, he was sweating profusely. He grabbed Cheng Huan's sleeve tightly and fell to his knees with a plop:
"General, if you run away, you will really harm your whole family!"

"Unlike Zhang He and Qu Yi, your whole family is in Gaoyi City."

"If Envoy Han knew that you had deserted the battlefield, he would definitely target your family members!"

Using family members as a target?

This sentence finally worked a little.

Cheng Huan, who had raised his whip and was about to give the messenger a hard hit, paused and faced a difficult decision.

Seeing Cheng Huan hesitate, the messenger immediately said:

"General Cheng, listen to me, things are far from the worst."

"Although the two thieves Zhang and Qu rebelled, they did so on impulse and were few in number. They were forced to do so after the chief secretary saw through their evil plan."

"You have 10,000 men, plus the 30,000 central troops led by the Chief Secretary, and other soldiers loyal to you, so suppressing the rebels won't be a problem!"

"Are you serious?" Cheng Huan asked hurriedly.

"It's really true. It couldn't be more true!"

The messenger said anxiously:
"We have all the advantages now. As long as you raise your arms and call, we will be able to capture the two rebels and make great contributions. At that time, Envoy Han will definitely reward you handsomely, and you and your family will be rich and safe."

Cheng Huan was torn between a mental and physical state. He no longer believed in wealth, prosperity and safety.

Even if the rebellion was suppressed, it was unclear how many of the 200,000 troops could return, and Han Fu's rule would probably not last long.

But at least now, my weaknesses are indeed controlled by others.

At this moment, the marching troops became chaotic and shouts of killing were heard faintly from the front. It was obvious that the rebellion of Zhang He and Qu Yi had begun.

"General Cheng, time waits for no one!"

"If it's any later, the rebels will have the upper hand!"

The messenger's voice sounded like crying, almost a roar, and Cheng Huan's face became increasingly gloomy. He looked at the chaotic marching troops in front of him and knew in his heart that he didn't have much time left.

"That's all!" Cheng Huan pulled the reins hard, raised the horse's head high, and shouted:

"All troops, speed up and follow me to kill the bandits and quell the rebellion!"

So, after a period of chaos, the soldiers hurriedly formed a team and ran quickly towards the chaotic place ahead. For a moment, the sounds of footsteps and weapons clashing were intertwined, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Zhang He over there had apparently completed his mobilization, and nearly 10,000 soldiers suddenly rebelled, killing their comrades in Jizhou and throwing them into disarray.

"Brothers, Han Fu is a traitor and a ruthless villain. Now is the time for us to turn from evil to good. Follow me and kill him!"

Zhang He held his spear high and commanded his troops to charge into the Jizhou army.

Although Geng Wu learned of the situation in advance and asked his soldiers to prepare in advance and set up a defensive formation.

But this only avoided the result of being destroyed. Zhang He's troops not only participated in the battle to pacify the Yellow Turbans, but also made many achievements in the previous rescue of the emperor in Jizhou. Even if they cannot be said to be experienced in battle, they are far from comparable to the new recruits under Geng Wu.

Almost immediately after the battle began, Zhang He took the lead in making a breakthrough, leading his troops to attack and kill Hong Lei, the first officer under Geng Wu who came to stop him, in the midst of the chaos.

"Brothers, look! This is the end of the rebels! Follow me and kill them all!" Seeing their commander so brave, the morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted. They shouted like thunder and launched a fierce attack on Geng Wu's army's defense line with overwhelming force.

While Zhang He was killing many people, Qu Yi on the other side naturally did not want to be outdone and showed his skills.

The eight hundred elite cavalrymen from Liangzhou and some knights from Jizhou who were loyal to him were quickly mobilized to cooperate with the actions of Zhang He's infantry.

This cavalry unit was like a sharp steel knife, piercing straight into the flank of Geng Wu's army.

Qu Yi took the lead, wielding his spear, and the enemy could not get close at all. The Liangzhou cavalrymen he led were all extremely brave, galloping back and forth on the battlefield, throwing Geng Wu's army's flank into chaos.

Faced with the attack of Qu Yi's troops, the Jizhou army soldiers, who were originally poorly trained and had low morale, completely lost their will to resist and fled in panic.

Geng Wu rode his horse and stood on a hill beside the road. He watched the situation on the battlefield becoming increasingly unfavorable to his side, and he felt angry and anxious.

"Where's Cheng Huan?!"

"Where is Cheng Huan?"

"If he doesn't come, we'll be doomed!"

At this time, Ju Su was also sweating profusely and felt very uneasy.

This Cheng Huan, he wouldn't rebel too, right?
Then the battle is really over.

"Don't panic, Chief Secretary, the end is coming!"

Just when Geng Wu and Ju Su were filled with anxiety, a cloud of dust rose in the distance, and a large flag with the word "Cheng" written on it fluttered in the wind.

Cheng Huan finally arrived.

It turned out that he knew how powerful Zhang He and Qu Yi were, and was worried that he and his men might not be their match. So he took the token given by Geng Wu halfway, summoned troops and recruited many Jizhou soldiers along the way, fully mobilizing the entire army to encircle Zhang He and Qu Yi.

At this time, the army that followed him numbered more than 30,000 people, and more troops were still arriving on the way.

"kill!"

"Brothers, follow me to charge forward and quell the rebellion!"

The addition of Cheng Huan's fresh troops immediately stopped the decline of Geng Wu's central army.

No matter how brave Zhang He and Qu Yi were, they were forced to retreat under the pressure of an army that was several times larger than theirs.

"Brother, things are not good!"

Zhang Wang came to Zhang He nervously:
"The bandits are gathering in greater numbers. We are about to be surrounded!"

Zhang He was shocked when he heard this. He tilted his neck and glanced at the chaotic army, frowning as well.

Zhang He, a veteran of many battles, knew very well that the situation was extremely critical at the moment. If they did not come up with a countermeasure quickly, their vanguard troops would be wiped out.

Then Zhang He pulled the reins hard, and the horse raised its front hooves high and neighed:
"Quick, lead your men to break through, and quickly go find General Su's troops, tell them about our situation, and ask them to support us as soon as possible!"

Zhang Wang gritted his teeth and led his men to break out and leave quickly. At the same time, Qu Yi was also engaged in a tough battle.

Although he was still wielding the spear with great force and killing enemies one after another, the enemy troops around him did not decrease at all. Instead, their numbers increased, and his pressure became greater and greater.

Qu Yi secretly groaned in his heart, but still had no intention of retreating. He stared with bloodshot eyes and shouted to his soldiers:

"Men of Liangzhou, even if we die today, we must die gloriously!"

"Kill, kill, carve out a bloody path!"

Seeing that the attack was not going well, Qu Yi attempted to break out to the rear, attempting to lead the cavalry to withdraw from the front line before being surrounded.

At this time, Cheng Huan rode a tall horse, shuttled through the battlefield, and constantly encouraged the morale of his soldiers:
"Brothers, cheer up and work harder!"

"Those two traitors are like trapped beasts. They won't be alive long!"

"Kill them! Kill them ruthlessly! We must let everyone know the consequences of betrayal!"

While shouting, Cheng Huan waved the long sword in his hand, commanding the army to continuously attack in different directions, continuously shrinking the front line, and strangling the enemy bit by bit.

The battlefield was filled with smoke, and the sounds of shouting, screaming, and weapons clashing were intertwined, forming a tragic picture of war.

The earth was dyed red with blood, countless soldiers shed their blood on the battlefield, and life was as fragile as an ant, disappearing quickly.

Zhang He fought hard, the spear in his hand was like a dragon emerging from the sea, unstoppable.

However, the enemy forces were too numerous and his troops were gradually divided and surrounded. Even though he was extremely anxious, it was difficult to make any breakthroughs.

Is it over?

Dying?

Is my journey going to end here?!

Zhang He gradually became desperate.

Just then, suddenly, he noticed a hint of confusion on the enemy's left wing.

He looked carefully and found that it was Qu Yi's cavalry troops who seized the opportunity and launched another fierce attack to break out.

Qu Yi took the lead, his spear flashing coldly, and more than a hundred elite cavalrymen rushed out, and the enemy troops fled in all directions wherever they passed.

He actually let him out?!

Zhang He was delighted when he saw this. He knew this was an opportunity, so he immediately summoned the elite troops around him and rushed towards the enemy's left wing, forming a pincer attack with Qu Yi's troops.

When Cheng Huan saw this, he was shocked. He obviously didn't expect that Zhang He and Qu Yi could cooperate so tacitly in such a difficult situation.

So he hurriedly ordered the adjustment of the formation and strengthened the defense of the left wing, but he still failed to surround and kill Qu Yi, allowing him to complete the reunion with Zhang He's army.

However, this victory meant nothing. As time went on, although Zhang He and Qu Yi's troops fought bravely, they were outnumbered and suffered increasing casualties. They organized several counterattacks afterwards, but ultimately failed to make any significant waves.

The offensive and defensive situation has undergone a complete change. Zhang He and Qu Yi's troops, who had been attacking the general's flag continuously, are retreating step by step and are trapped in a corner. Their destruction is only a matter of time.

"Okay, okay, okay"

Geng Wu stood on a hill, looking at the battlefield from afar, his eyes filled with ferocious delight:
"Zhang He, Qu Yi, you dare to betray me. Today is the day you will die!"

Geng Wu shouted excitedly, his voice trembling.

Although the immediate threat was resolved and Zhang He and Qu Yi were about to die, he still felt a wave of fear:
"Thanks to Gongyou for discovering it early, we dealt with it in time. Otherwise, if we really got to the city of Handangou and they started to make trouble, the consequences would be disastrous!"

Geng Wu now praised Ju Su without reservation, saying that he had saved the army. After returning to Julu, he would write a letter to the envoy, asking him to greatly reward Ju Su, praising him for his wisdom and courage, and saying that he would be a pillar of the country in the future.

However, Ju Shou was not very happy about Geng Wu's praise.

"It's too early. It's too early."

"Dealing with these two rebels is just one step."

"Our army is killing each other. Su Yao will probably laugh his teeth off. Our road ahead will be difficult and we must not slack off at all."

"Oh, we are about to win, why are you saying such a spoiling thing?"

Geng Wu waved his hands, took a long breath and said:

"Destroying these two traitors not only relieves us of a major worry, but also saves us a lot of food rations."

"From now on, our army is united as one and eager to return home. If Su Yao dares to stop us, he will pay the price with blood!"

Let Su Yao pay the price in blood?
After hearing the letter, Ju Su gave a bitter smile. He didn't quite agree with it, but he wouldn't say anything to spoil the fun. He just silently racked his brains for a good plan, hoping to find a way to outsmart Su Yao. Not to mention reversing the situation, but also to minimize the losses, bring more soldiers back home, and preserve his strength.

But, apparently he was overthinking it.

Time waits for no one.

"Hey!"

"You're going to kill me without calling me, right?"

"Come on, everyone, follow me, and wipe out this wave of rebels in one fell swoop!"

That’s right, Su Yao is here.

Just when Geng Wu had put his mind at ease and Ju Su was racking his brains for a strategy to defeat the enemy, there suddenly came a deafening cry of killing from afar, accompanied by the sound of horse hooves rolling in like thunder.

"what?!"

"Is it Su Yao? Why is he here?!"

There was a slight tremor in Geng Wu's voice, and Ju Shou's expression became even uglier.

They looked in the direction of the sound and saw a huge cavalry team rushing towards them with the force of thunder on the horizon. The person leading them was riding a white horse and wearing a red robe, holding an exaggeratedly long lance. Wasn't that Su Yao himself?

It turned out that there was no need for Zhang Wang and others to ask for help. Su Yao, who was lying in ambush in the grove, had already seen from the small map that a small green dot suddenly appeared among a group of red dots. The two sides were infiltrating and entangled with each other, which was extremely eye-catching.

At this point, how could Su Yao not know that something was wrong here? He immediately canceled the ambush and led his troops to rush to the rescue.

"kill!"

The Han cavalry swept in like a hurricane. Su Yao, Zhao Yun, and Dian Wei lined up in the front of the team, forming a V-shaped assault formation.

The long spear in Su Yao's hand flashed a cold light in the sunlight, just like the scythe of the god of death. Every time it was swung, it brought up gusts of wind, reaping blood and lives.

Zhao Yun was dancing with his silver spear, which shot out like a dragon. Enemies were killed wherever the spear pointed. His movements were smooth and flowing, fully demonstrating his bravery.

Although Dian Wei was not as agile as the other two in cavalry combat, he was extremely strong. Holding a long sword for cavalry combat, he swung the sword with both hands, making a whirring sound. All the enemies who came close to him were chopped away by his sword, and blood splattered on the spot.

The three of them cooperated with each other tacitly, like an extremely sharp trident, rushing straight towards the army surrounding Zhang He.

Cheng Huan was horrified when he saw this, and quickly ordered the rear troops to turn around and resist the attack.

However, their hasty actions could not reverse the situation at all.

Under the attack led by Su Yao and three others, Cheng Huan's army's defense line was as fragile as thin paper and was penetrated in one fell swoop.

The Han knights followed closely behind, surging forward. The road was littered with corpses, the ground was stained with blood, and the sounds of wailing and crying filled the sky.

The bloody massacre has begun
