The Three Kingdoms: Home Travel
Chapter 39 Awakening!
Tao Ying took the lead, leading the group to retrieve the ignition source. They approached the Yellow Turban army's well tower and lit a raging fire. The Yellow Turbans hurriedly surrounded them, but they were no match for Tao Ying's superior martial arts skills. It was like a flock of sheep encountering a tiger; Tao Ying slaughtered them all.
Upon seeing the first well-ballast fire, the elite soldiers of Xuzhou on the east gate city wall cheered and beat their drums even louder.
Tao Ying was also secretly pleased, thinking to himself, if he were under the old man like his elder brother, how could he be so glorious now?
Seeing the way the elite soldiers around him were looking at him, Tao Ying felt a little smug and shouted, "The Yellow Turban Army is nothing but this! Fellow men of Xuzhou, drive back the rebels! The Chen family will reward the entire army!"
"Drink!" The morale of Xuzhou soared again, and the soldiers became as brave as the Yellow Turbans.
"Damn it!" Chen Deng, standing on the city wall, almost spat out blood. He cursed inwardly in the Jiang family's dialect. However, the Yellow Turbans were the priority at the moment. As long as the Yellow Turbans could be driven back, Chen Deng was willing to give the Chen family some money. It was just that Tao Ying had gained some popularity for nothing, which really annoyed him.
Fang Yue was directing the archers, watching Tao Ying charge left and right as if he were in an empty field, and felt a little envious. But after glancing at Jiang Zhe, who was "fighting bravely against the enemy," she immediately straightened her mind and shouted, "Archers, rear guard! Fire!"
At this point, Jiang Zhe really didn't encounter many Yellow Turbans. Not only was he firmly protected by guards, but Xiu'er would also glare at him from time to time, the meaning of which was very clear: if you run around again, hmph!
Jiang Zhe broke out in a cold sweat. He had never realized his wife was so capable... Recalling the words about family from his later life, Jiang Zhe couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
From now on, I really should listen to my wife... Listening to my wife means I'll get food...
Xiu'er, a woman of exceptional skill and courage, shouted repeatedly, her martial arts prowess leaving Jiang Zhe's guards bewildered and exchanging bewildered glances. They had originally intended to protect Madam Jiang… but now…
The situation in Xuzhou was very favorable. On the other hand, although the Yellow Turbans were under pressure, their morale remained high. They fought on par with the elite troops of Xuzhou with their rudimentary weapons, but they were much worse in defense. A volley of fire from the walls of Xuzhou wounded dozens of Yellow Turban soldiers and killed several others.
However... once the Yellow Turbans were injured, once they knew they had no hope of survival, they would actually perish together with the Xuzhou soldiers. Seeing the astonished and terrified looks in the eyes of the Xuzhou soldiers, the Yellow Turbans chuckled and went to their deaths together.
In terms of perseverance and combat prowess, the Yellow Turbans were undoubtedly the leaders of all armies. Even Cao Cao's elite troops in Qingzhou were formed by incorporating the Yellow Turban army from Qingzhou. They were truly invincible. It is a pity that they all perished in the Battle of Red Cliffs. It is truly a pity!
"The second one!" Jiang Zhe watched closely from the city wall and saw Tao Ying light the second well ballast. The well ballast was about to collapse, and Yellow Turban archers fell from it from time to time, dying on the ground and being trampled into a bloody pulp.
The scene was so gruesome that Jiang Zhe's hands and feet trembled as he watched the intense action below, with flesh and blood flying everywhere and the stench of blood permeating the air. How could one see such a scene in a game?
Tao Ying below had already lit the third and fourth siege towers, but the Xuzhou soldiers behind him were few and far between. Most of them had been scattered in the Yellow Turban formation, and some had died in the Yellow Turban counterattack before their deaths.
Just as Tao Ying approached the fifth well tower, Zhang Yan rode up and shouted, "State your name, general!" He had clearly seen that this young general from Xuzhou was no less skilled than Fang Yue, and that his side had no general to stop him.
"Hey!" Tao Ying chuckled, "Young Master Tao Ying, now the bandit general of Xuzhou... take note!"
Seeing that the opponent had suddenly launched a surprise attack while they were talking, Zhang Yan was furious. She blocked with her sword, but suddenly felt a weight in her hand. She became secretly wary, realizing that this young general was incredibly strong.
Tao Ying chuckled, flicked his spear, and the tip of the spear blossomed like a flower, aiming at Zhang Yan's chest from the top, middle, and bottom. His spear technique was pure and truly extraordinary.
Zhang Yan parried several times with his sword, when he suddenly caught sight of a spear coming from below. Startled, he jumped off his horse.
Tao Ying shot Zhang Yan's horse dead with a single shot, turned around and smiled, then turned and left.
Zhang Yan was puzzled when suddenly an idea struck him. He looked in one direction and saw that the last well tower was engulfed in flames, with many Yellow Turban soldiers struggling to hold it off. It turned out that when Tao Ying stopped Zhang Yan, the Xuzhou soldiers behind him took the opportunity to set the well tower on fire. Although they lost many lives, they had finally accomplished their mission, and the Yellow Turbans were doomed!
"Damn it!" Zhang Yan immediately understood everything and angrily threw her sword at Tao Ying.
Unexpectedly, Tao Ying felt a gust of wind from behind. He turned around but remained calm, dodging the attack while grabbing Zhang Yan's sword. He laughed loudly, "Nice sword! Thanks, brother! I'm off!"
Wielding a spear and a sword, Tao Ying led the remaining Xuzhou soldiers back into the city. In contrast, the morale of the Yellow Turbans plummeted. Not only were their siege towers gone, but many of their siege ladders had also been burned. Those Yellow Turbans who went up were killed by the city's elite soldiers.
Zhang Yan stood there dumbfounded for a long while, then sighed sadly, "I underestimated the heroes of the world!" He didn't give chase, watching Tao Ying enter Xuzhou, and called, "Sound the retreat!"
"...Yes!" The guards who arrived heard Zhang Yan's words and, after a moment of surprise, obeyed and stepped back.
Before long, the sound of retreat came from the rear of the Yellow Turbans, and then the Yellow Turbans' attack paused, and they slowly retreated.
"Phew!" Jiang Zhe secretly breathed a sigh of relief and ordered, "Don't pursue a cornered enemy!"
It's finally over! Jiang Zhe looked around and saw the bloodied and mangled hands of the archers who had drawn their bows. He felt a lump in his throat. Then he looked at the soldiers who lay half-fallen on the city wall, their bodies riddled with arrows. A feeling of extreme distress filled his heart, not to mention the Xuzhou elite soldiers who had long since died on the battlefield.
"Soldiers!" Jiang Zhe shouted.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Jiang Zhe.
"We drove back the Yellow Turbans!"
"Drink!" The shouts were deafening. The morale, which had been low due to the deaths of their comrades, suddenly soared. Yes! The invincible Yellow Turbans have been driven back by us!
Although Jiang Zhe knew that Zhang Yan's retreat was only temporary, he still didn't intend to reveal it and affect morale. At this time, it was best to say the good things! As for the bad things... as long as the commander-in-chief kept them in mind and didn't take them lightly, that was enough.
Then, Jiang Zhe began to look for Xiu'er. He saw Xiu'er standing not far from him, smiling at him.
Jiang Zhe stepped forward and tenderly wiped away the few drops of blood from Xiu'er's face.
"My lord..." Xiu'er said softly, blushing, "That's not mine..."
"I know..." Jiang Zhe ignored the numerous soldiers on the city wall and directly embraced Xiu'er. "Thank you for your support... Xiu'er..." Then he said loudly, "Gentlemen! After we defeat the Yellow Turbans, it will be my wedding day. Jiang Zhe will host a banquet for you all then! I hope you will all give me the honor!"
"Cheers! Hah! As long as you don't mind our crudeness, we will definitely attend the banquet!" Seeing this, the Xuzhou soldiers cheered, which somewhat dispelled the deathly atmosphere.
Xiuer was filled with mixed feelings of shyness and joy. She never expected that Jiang Zhe would announce their marriage in front of a thousand people. The heroine from just now was now buried in Jiang Zhe's arms and dared not raise her head.
Chen Deng smiled wryly. His teacher was getting married, so naturally, the student had to arrange everything. But the problem was that his teacher simply didn't have the money to host a banquet for so many soldiers...
"Fine, fine, consider it tuition..."
Fang Yue and Tao Ying knew that Jiang Zhe was not pretentious at all, so they came early to make a fuss.
As Jiang Zhe dealt with them, he looked at the corpses of the soldiers on and below the city walls and sighed deeply. In this chaotic world, we are all Chinese sons and daughters... why must we kill each other... Alas... thinking about the later Five Barbarian Invasions, wasn't it because too many people died during the Three Kingdoms period?
At this moment, he secretly made up his mind that he must see Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and others with his own eyes to see if they were truly for the sake of the people. If they were, then... he would help them...
