Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 154 Attack from both sides
When they looked over, they saw clouds of dust rising from the path leading to Huangshui Township behind the Yellow Turban Army.

Three people could be vaguely seen at the head, galloping on horseback, followed by a group of cavalry and a large number of infantry.

"Hahaha, second brother, please be slower and leave some for me!"

"It's better to act quickly. I think the situation of Brother Liu and his men defending the city is a bit tense."

Cheng Liang and Zhang Yong, who were already covered in blood on the city wall, shouted excitedly.

"My second brother and fifth brother are here. Hahahaha, we have all brothers together. What is there to fear in this world?"

Wu Lu looked back and was horrified!

"Quick, the rear troops, stop the enemy quickly, don't let them rush in!"

However, the Yellow Turban Army was composed entirely of infantrymen, with scarce weapons and armor. They relied on their fierceness to fight the regular army. After a long battle, they were already exhausted. How could they stop the elite division brought by Guan Yu? Not to mention that there were more than 200 cavalrymen equipped with the best war horses provided by the Su and Zhang families!

Guan, Zhu and Ye charged in the front, followed closely by the cavalry, and they were the first to rush into the Yellow Turban Army's camp. It was like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, and in an instant they scattered the Yellow Turban Army.

"Hahaha, second brother, Xiangzi, let's see who is braver today, and whoever loses will buy a drink!"

Zhu Ye laughed wildly, waving his two hammers in both hands, charging into the enemy army as if he was in an empty space!

"Haha, if Fifth Brother is in such a good mood, I, the Second Brother, will accompany you. As for those who are willing to take advantage of others, I will kill them!"

"Haha, I am not good at martial arts, so I dare not compete with you two, but I will never slack off in killing the enemy."

"System prompts, Guan Yu and Zhu Ye fight side by side, triggering the 'Golden Orchid' combination skill, the force is increased by 1 point each, and the other two get 4 points of bonus from the King of Soldiers and the King of Armor. Guan Yu's force is increased to 97, and Zhu Ye's to 96."

"System prompts, Zhu Ye has activated the 'Brave Power' skill, his strength has increased by another 8 points, and his current strength is 104."

Guan Yu held the sword with both hands and chopped left and right. The Green Dragon Crescent Blade could cut through iron like mud, and the blade kept reaping the heads of the enemy soldiers he met along the way.

Although Ye Xiang was a little weak, the tip of the Fire Dragon Spear was like a fire dragon's tongue, stabbing out repeatedly and quickly taking the lives of many enemy soldiers.

A man rushed to Wu Lu's side and said anxiously, "General Qu, nearly 1,000 of our 9,000 men have been killed in the battle, and more than 1,000 have been seriously injured. Now we are attacked from both sides, and the city wall cannot be taken down for a long time. It is better to retreat quickly!"

Wu Lu looked up at the top of the city wall, then glanced at the team of cavalry charging towards him, his face full of resentment.

"Damn it! How annoying! I didn't expect Langdiao County to be such a tough nut to crack. It looks like the great achievement is destined to fall to that guy this time!"

He gritted his teeth and said to the man beside him: "The entire army will retreat 20 miles and set up camp in the mountains to rest!"

With an order given, the remaining thousands of Yellow Turban Army withdrew from both sides of the encirclement line of Guan Yu and others like a tide.

Guan Yu and others were about to stop and pursue them, but were stopped by Liu He.

"Don't chase after the desperate enemy. This group of Taiping soldiers is extremely fierce. I'm afraid there will be other ambushes. Let's go into the city first, and then fight them after resting up!"

"Here!"

Guan Yu, Zhu Ye and Ye Xiang took the order and led the troops into the county town.

The two armies met up and were heading towards the parade ground, but they saw the people of the county lining the streets on both sides of the road to welcome them.

"Thanks to the bravery of Magistrate Liu and the generals, we would be in danger!" "Yes, I fled here from Jizhou. I heard that the Taiping Sect was compassionate to the people, but I didn't expect to see it today, and I found it so cruel. If it weren't for the bloody battles of the generals, we would be dead!"

"Those bandits are scarier than wild beasts. My son just turned one month old, and he started crying non-stop just by hearing their voices. Now that the county magistrate has returned victorious, the boy has stopped crying immediately. The county magistrate is truly a god!"

"My Lord, I have relatives living in Yu County. I just heard from the bandits that they attacked Yu County. I beg you to send troops to rescue Yu County!"

Liu He listened to the various sounds on both sides of the street, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

In fact, human heart is complicated and simple at the same time.

The common people in the city actually don't understand the Yellow Turban Army. Even I, who have fought with them for a long time, am still not sure whether they will turn their knives on ordinary people if it is the Yellow Turban Army that wins and enters the city.

But the people did not think so. They saw how terrifying and bloodthirsty the Yellow Turban Army was, and heard all their shouting and threatening. Then, they compared it with the people-friendly style of their own Anmin Army. The difference between good and evil became clear to them in an instant. If the Yellow Turban Army was allowed to enter the city, they would definitely be massacred. Perhaps Yu County had already been massacred. At least in their hearts, they had already determined this.

At this moment, they looked at Liu He and others as if they were looking at a life-saving straw.

If we were to say who is the most successful person at this time, it would undoubtedly be Zhu Ye.

The warhorse this guy rode was only slightly better than the ones in the cavalry. After fighting for half a day with his two hammers, the horse was already overwhelmed. So he simply got off the horse and walked, brandishing his two hammers and responding to the praises from the people along the street.

His mighty appearance not only did not scare people, but instead attracted a group of children to follow him around.

"Haha, Fifth Brother still has the same temper as a child."

Guan Yu was riding a horse behind Liu He on the right side. He turned around and saw Zhu Ye's appearance and teased him casually.

"Yes, but Dehui's pure heart is rare."

The group came to the parade ground and took a short rest. Soon, Cui Jun counted the losses of the battle.

"In this battle, our army lost 136 men, 214 were seriously injured, 562 were slightly injured, and 1,757 enemy corpses were left behind. The wounded have been sent for treatment, and the families of the dead have been provided with pensions."

Strictly speaking, this 1:13 casualty ratio is already excellent, but everyone present was still in a very heavy mood.

Cui Jun looked at everyone, then at Liu He, opened his mouth, but stopped himself from speaking.

Liu He saw this and said, "Military Advisor, I know what you want to say, but you are worried that it is not appropriate to talk about it in this situation, so you didn't say it, right?"

Cui Jun sighed: "Alas, the one who understands me is my lord."

Liu He stood up and looked at the Anmin Army soldiers in front of him who were covered in blood but still sitting neatly on the ground. His eyes seemed to suddenly become firm.

"The military advisor once mentioned to me that our Anmin Army has strict military discipline and is well-trained, but they lack one thing, which is the understanding of the cruelty of real war. In their eyes, the so-called war is that a few of us rush forward and kill the enemy's generals, and the enemy will be in chaos without fighting, and they will easily win. They don't think war is so bloody and terrible at all."

"I didn't take it seriously at the beginning, which led to the disaster today. If I had been prepared earlier, my brothers wouldn't have suffered such heavy casualties today."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't sit still anymore.

"Brother, why do you have to do this? It's well known that you care about your soldiers. We are the ones who train these soldiers on a daily basis. If we are talking about responsibility, it should be the younger brothers who should shoulder it."

"Yes, second brother is right. What's wrong with eldest brother caring for his soldiers? For now, we should think about how to stabilize the morale of the army. After all, this is the first time they have encountered such a bloody battle. I am afraid they are still in fear. The Taiping Army has temporarily retreated, but I am afraid they will come back soon. If we can't maintain morale, Langtiao County will be in danger."
