The Three Kingdoms: My Wife is a Great and Good Teacher

"stop!"

Almost at the same time, Liu Zhaoqing, who was at the front of the team, immediately raised his hand.

While stopping his own troops, he also conveyed the order to stay to the rest of the alliance.

He didn't need to explain, the strange noise just now was the reason why he stopped.

Afterwards, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao each left their own teams and came to Liu Zhaoqing's side.

"What happened?" Yuan Shao, riding a horse, asked Liu Zhaoqing.

"I don't know." Liu Zhaoqing said with a frown.

"But it shouldn't be a good thing."

At the same time, Cao Cao, who was riding a black horse on the other side, also pulled the reins and came to the other side of Liu Zhaoqing.

She looked into the distance, and then asked the woman in white next to Liu Zhaoqing: "Wen Ruo has the gift of observation, can he know what happened there?"

"No, there is something inexplicable blocking it." Xun Yu shook his head and then looked into the distance.

"The sound came from the front, where Zhang Miao and Liu Dai are. If I'm not mistaken, they must have encountered Dong Zhuo's troops."

"Dong Zhuo's troops?" Yuan Shao was surprised. "How could Dong Zhuo's troops cause such a commotion? This commotion is almost as loud as that of a demon."

"No matter what, we have to send someone to check out the situation." Liu Zhaoqing thought for a moment and made a decision immediately.

"Our cavalry is fast and has strong combat capabilities, so they should be able to do the job."

"Zhang Liao, take two hundred cavalrymen and chase Zhang Miao and his men. If you encounter an enemy, do not engage in a fight. While dealing with them, send someone back to report to us."

Zhang Liao bowed and then immediately called Zhou Cang, separated two hundred cavalrymen from the team, and rode forward at full speed.

At the same time, Liu Zhaoqing did not let down his guard and told Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and other princes to pay attention to gathering their troops and increase vigilance on the periphery, and any signs of trouble must be reported here in a timely manner.

Although the possibility of an army of hundreds of thousands being besieged was very small, Liu Zhaoqing did not think that the size of the coalition forces would be a reason for Dong Zhuo not to attack.

"boom!!"

Less than half an hour later, another loud noise came from the front.

At this point, all the generals and soldiers in the coalition army were a little panicked.

Fear comes from the unknown. Unknown things are just ahead, which will inevitably cause chaos in the army's morale.

"Could it be some kind of spiritual beast?" murmured a prince beside Liu Zhaoqing.

“If there is a spiritual beast, then the surrounding aura cannot be without fluctuations. Such a movement in the world must have caused strange phenomena.” Liu Zhaoqing said.

"If it wasn't done by a spirit beast, wouldn't it be... even more terrifying?"

Now Liu Zhaoqing also fell silent.

That's true. If it was caused by a spiritual beast, then everyone could accept it. It was just the bad luck of encountering a rare ferocious beast.

But if it is not a ferocious beast or a spiritual beast, but a "human", then what kind of existence can cause such a commotion?

No one dared to think about it, but Liu Zhaoqing kept guessing in his mind who might fit the description.

After much thought, only Lu Bu fits the bill, but Lu Bu is a human. Can one person really cause a commotion like the collapse of heaven and earth?

Just when Liu Zhaoqing was puzzled, a galloping horse appeared in front of him.

The soldier on the horse had a yellow scarf tied on his right arm. Obviously, he was one of the two hundred Yellow Turban riders who had just gone to the front with Zhang Liao to gather information.

"My lord!" The Yellow Turban cavalry came to Liu Zhaoqing and was about to dismount and salute, but Liu Zhaoqing immediately stopped him and asked him to explain the situation quickly.

At the same time, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and other princes also came to Liu Zhaoqing, and they all needed an answer.

"Who did it?" Yuan Shao asked.

The Yellow Turban Rider shook his head, but then nodded.

"What does this mean?" someone asked.

"Yes, but no." The Yellow Turban Cavalry replied, "The commotion was indeed caused by people, but it was not just one person, but... an entire army."

"It was a group of soldiers wearing black armor, even their faces were covered by the black armor. They stomped their feet together, and the ground around them collapsed directly."

"Direct collapse?" Liu Zhaoqing was slightly stunned.

"Yes." The Yellow Turban Cavalry was still in shock. "We only encountered a small group of them, probably less than 300 people. All the Yellow Turban Cavalry fell into a deep pit in an instant. Fortunately, General Zhang Liao ordered me to be at the end of the team and come back to report to the lord if I encounter any situation."

"What? A deep pit?" Liu Zhaoqing frowned.

At this time, Xun Yu thought for a moment and asked, "What about the army led by Zhang Miao, Liu Dai and others?"

"We didn't see the armies of the several princes, but... they should have been ambushed." The Yellow Turban Cavalry responded with their heads down.

After the report was completed, a strange silence fell among the princes.

"An army that can make the ground collapse..." Cao Cao murmured softly at this time.

Her expression also caught the attention of Yuan Shao and Liu Bei.

"Captain Cao knows about this army?"

"I'm not too familiar with her, and it may not be her." Cao Cao shook his head slightly.

Yuan Shao then said, "Meng De, don't keep us in suspense. Regardless of whether it is or not, tell me whose troops it could be."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Cao Cao hesitated for a moment and said, "If I am not mistaken, this piece of music is very similar to the elite troops from Bingzhou that Dong Zhuo obtained a few days ago. It was led by a general under Ding Yuan, the former governor of Bingzhou."

"Now that Ding Yuan is dead, all the Bingzhou soldiers have been surrendered to Dong Zhuo, and that general has a strong character and recently agreed to serve the court instead of Dong Zhuo."

"His name is Gao Shun, and the elite troops he leads are called... the Xianzhen Camp."

-

"General Zhang Liao!"

"Where are we?!"

"The ground collapsed!"

……

"Don't panic!" Zhang Liao said immediately, "You have followed the lord and me to fight in the frontier. What kind of scene have you not seen?!"

After these words were spoken, the surrounding Yellow Turban Cavalry gradually quieted down.

Then Zhang Liao looked up and found that he and his troops were in a huge pit at least four feet deep.

The black-armored troops simply stomped their feet together, and the horses ridden by Zhang Liao and the Yellow Turbans began to neigh, and then the ground suddenly collapsed.

Shaking his head, Zhang Liao no longer thought about the fact that he had fallen into a trap.

She said to her attendants, "Our horses are strong and can jump two meters. We can use the horses as ladders. Two people stand on the horses and cross their arms."

His men immediately did as they were told, and then Zhang Liao took the lead, directly controlling the horse to go up along the "ladder" built by men and horses, stepped on the wall of the deep pit, jumped up, and rushed to the edge.

Then, she saw several pitch-black spears coming towards her.

Zhang Liao snorted coldly and raised the crescent-shaped halberd in his hand.

Chapter 259: Vanguard Collapse, Chasing and Killing 4K

As Zhang Liao emerged from the pit, he used his God-given power.

A bluish-white light rose from her body, burning like a flame.

The next second, she simply raised her arm and swept it across, and all the dozen or so black spears that tried to block her were cut off.

As long as she could stabilize the situation in this small area on her own, the cavalry in the pit would be able to escape with the help of cooperation and good horses.

Looking around, there are at least three hundred black-armored soldiers, and although many of them are not outstanding people, each of them exudes an aura close to the earth.

Zhang Liao had seen this feeling in someone before, that was Liu Zhaoqing's wife: Zhang Jiao.

She immediately understood that this army, like the Yellow Turban Army, was also led by a man with the divine gift of commanding an army.

There are different kinds of outstanding people in the world, and the same is true for people with the same surname.

Some are good at literature, some are good at martial arts, some are good at divination, and some are good at medicine.

And the best among them are even rarer.

Among the military geniuses, one who possesses the natural gift of commanding the army is one of them. The only orthodox generals Zhang Liao had seen who possessed a similar natural gift were the court generals Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun.

However, Zhang Liao didn't know why he felt that these black-armored soldiers were inexplicably familiar.

The black-armored soldiers whose spears were cut off by Zhang Liao retreated quickly and hid behind the shield-bearing men who were approaching. Then several swordsmen holding huge sabers came up from behind the shields.

Obviously, there was no senior general in command among these 300 people, but their quality, coordination and on-the-spot response were so excellent.

Obviously, they have not only received rigorous military training, but have also participated in many real combat battles.

It doesn't look like the army in the imperial court at all.

"kill!"

The horse slayers who came forward shouted in unison, and all the shield soldiers raised their round shields and smashed them towards the ground.

In an instant, the ground beneath Zhang Liao began to crack again.

Fortunately, she had experienced the horror of this black-armored army before. When the crack was about to swallow her, she steered her horse to the side, then raised her halberd and smashed it directly towards the cracked ground.

The gap where he was originally located was instantly connected to the big pit behind him. For a moment, the mud flowed into the big pit. Not only did it not harm the Yellow Turban Cavalry trapped in it, but it also formed a ramp, which was extremely helpful for the cavalry to escape.

Zhang Liao has never been a reckless man, and she understands what her mission is.

It was not about killing the enemy or showing off one's power, but about gathering intelligence and joining up with the coalition vanguard troops ahead.

So the first priority is to preserve their own Yellow Turban Cavalry. These are all carefully selected elite soldiers, and losing one will mean a loss.

"General Zhang Liao!"

"The cavalry in the rear should change to bows and arrows, and thirty cavalrymen should come forward and help me to disperse them." Zhang Liao gave the order immediately.

But at this moment, the small group of black-armored troops in front suddenly looked up and looked behind them, and then a man who seemed to be the team leader gave orders.

"retreat!"

Under Zhang Liao's order, the cavalrymen who knew archery immediately changed to bows and arrows, and then under the command of the sergeant in the troops, they all pulled the bowstrings to full strength and shot at the black-armored soldiers.

Arrows rained down on the black-armored army. The other side simply ordered the men in heavy armor to raise their shields and step forward to block the arrows while continuing to retreat. They had no intention of fighting back at all.

There were even fallen black-armored soldiers, but no one of them stepped forward to bring them back. They were extremely determined to retreat.

"General, should we pursue the victory?"

At this time, a cavalryman asked Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao frowned slightly and shook his head: "No need."

It’s not that you shouldn’t pursue a desperate enemy, but the retreat of these people was a bit strange. The most important thing is that his troops did not come here to annihilate them.

Moreover, there might be ambushes on their way of retreat, so the risk of chasing them is too great and not worth the risk.

"Help the rest of the men and horses get out of the pit, and we'll keep moving forward."

At the same time, Zhang Liao also sent another cavalryman back to report the news to Liu Zhaoqing.

After all the Yellow Turban cavalry escaped from the pit, Zhang Liao continued to head west.

As Liu Zhaoqing's right-hand man, Zhang Liao knew the attack routes of Zhang Miao and other vanguard troops, so he also knew where to find them.

But what worries Zhang Liao now, or makes him confused, is not whether Zhang Miao and his men are safe, but... where exactly this black-armored army comes from.

When fighting with him just now, Zhang Liao recognized the accent of the person giving orders.

That is an accent that only exists in Bingzhou.

And Zhang Liao also remembered that the reason why she felt those soldiers were familiar was because the style of the black armor they wore had elements unique to Bingzhou.

They are Bingzhou soldiers.

"Is it Lu Bu..."

Zhang Liao guessed this in his mind, but immediately denied this possibility.

Although she had never met Lu Bu, she knew that Lu Bu was a general beside Dong Zhuo and was said to be extremely brave and a genius who was extremely good at martial arts.

Therefore, the princes inquired about him a lot, but there was no news to show that Lu Bu had trained such troops.
