Chapter 505: Astonishing Achievements
September 25, 2017
Today, everyone above Wucheng witnessed a miracle.
When Lu HaiKong's Bloodbath Legion charged forward, not many on the walls of Wucheng believed that Lu HaiKong and his troops would survive.
The only one with such confidence was probably Dantai Mingjing, who saw the determination to win within the Bloodbath Legion.
The subsequent battle unfolded beyond everyone's expectations.
Lu HaiKong, with his Bloodbath Legion of less than a thousand, led by three formidable warlords, swept through the Yellow Turban Army.
Wherever they pointed their spears, they advanced like a raging fire, and the soldiers on the walls felt their morale rising as they witnessed this unstoppable momentum.
When they saw Lu HaiKong's army twice cutting down enemy generals in the midst of chaos, their morale soared to new heights.
So, when Lu HaiKong finally pointed his spear at Zhang Liang, the soldiers on the walls of Wucheng even shouted suggestions to join the battle, something that had never happened since the fall of Ye City.
The Yellow Turban Army's gradual retreat under Lu HaiKong's threat, further boosted the morale of the soldiers on the walls to its peak.
The soldiers were unaware of the conflict between Lu HaiKong, Lu Zhi, and Ding Yuan, nor did they know what Lu HaiKong said after throwing the heads of two historical generals onto the walls. They only knew one thing: they had won!
It was one of their rare victories in months, so even though they didn't participate, they cheered and roared from the depths of their hearts.
Amidst the roaring, even before Lu Zhi could give the order, the soldiers below the city gate spontaneously opened it, unable to see the battle but hearing the roars from above.
Almost simultaneously with the opening of the gate, several system messages arrived.
[You have repelled Zhang Liang's army and gained 100,000 Han Dynasty Army Merit Points.]
[Your subordinate general, Dian Wei, has killed the historical general Yan Zheng. You have gained 1,000,000 Han Dynasty Army Merit Points.]
[Your subordinate general, Zhao Nanli, has killed the historical general Du Yuan. You have gained 1,000,000 Han Dynasty Army Merit Points.]
[You have repelled Zhang Liang's army and obtained a Golden Chest.]
[Your subordinate general, Dian Wei, has killed the historical general Yan Zheng. You have obtained a Golden Chest.]
[Your subordinate general, Zhao Nanli, has killed the historical general Du Yuan. You have obtained a Golden Chest.]
Three Camp Quest System notifications, three Camp Victory System notifications, and Lu HaiKong's Han Dynasty Army Merit Points surpassed 20 million, reaching 21,850,000.
The rewards were decent, but the price Lu HaiKong paid was also heavy.
Before the battle, the Bloodbath Legion had nearly a thousand troops. After the intense fight, only 600 remained, and Zhao Er and Cheng Lian were also injured.
Nevertheless, Lu HaiKong and his group finally reached Wucheng and, in the battle beneath its walls, demonstrated the might of the Bloodbath Legion, earning the soldiers' admiration in a single battle!
They entered Wucheng, basking in the glory of victory.
................................................
Bingzhou, Taiyuan Prefecture.
To be honest, Lu HaiKong never expected that after entering Jiuzhou, he would ride ahead alone, eventually reaching as far as Wucheng.
However, before his departure, Lu HaiKong had made preparations, knowing that venturing deep into enemy territory would inevitably lead to a communication breakdown with his rear forces.
Before Lu HaiKong left, he had already issued the order for Xi Zhaitai to come and take command of the legion in Taiyuan Prefecture.
Indeed, Gao Shun and Wang Ti could easily take over the entire Taiyuan Prefecture, but after doing so, many issues would be beyond their ability to handle.
For instance, the relocation of refugees in Taiyuan Prefecture, the restoration of order, and other related matters were not within Gao Shun and Wang Ti's capabilities. Therefore, after Lu HaiKong truly lost contact with the rear, Xi Zhaitai emerged from the North Seal, leading the Wild Wolf Guards and the middle-aged man by his side. They headed south, arriving in Taiyuan Prefecture.
Even before Xi Zhaitai reached Taiyuan Prefecture, he had already grasped the situation there.
Taiyuan Prefecture had already been taken over by Gao Shun and Wang Ti before Xi Zhaitai arrived. After that, Xi Zhaitai swiftly got to work.
On one hand, he began to restore order in Taiyuan Prefecture, taking control and starting to stockpile troops near Shangdang Prefecture, posing as if they were about to invade Jiuzhou.
In the book "Yi Liu Yi Jiu," the version without mistakes is the correct one!
However, these were not the most important matters. For Xi Zhaitai, the most crucial task was to gather intelligence about Lu HaiKong.
In Xi Zhaitai's opinion, the entire Taiyuan Prefecture combined was not as important as Lu HaiKong's safety.
Xi Zhaitai could not obtain detailed information about Jiuzhou, only a rough idea. Five days ago, Ye City had fallen, and Xi Zhaitai only received the news five days later.
"Ye City has fallen, and the Yellow Turbans surprisingly didn't take advantage of the situation to break through Wucheng and invade Silizhou. This situation is quite unbelievable."
Xi Zhaitai knocked on the table, and a glint flashed in his eyes, "It seems that he must have disrupted the Yellow Turbans' logistics. Only under such circumstances can the Yellow Turbans' actions be explained. Moreover, this is something he would do, and he is capable of doing it."
"If that's the case, the Yellow Turbans will definitely do their utmost to surround and suppress him. In that case, they must have fortified their defenses in the direction of Shangdang Prefecture. Recently, I've been stationing troops near Shangdang Prefecture, so they must be on high alert in Changshan Commandery and Zhao Commandery. Under these circumstances, he should be heading towards Wucheng."
Based on this simple information, Xi Zhaitai, with his understanding of Lu HaiKong, roughly calculated where Lu HaiKong should be currently located.
Subsequently, Xi Zhaitai led the forces from Taiyuan Prefecture into action. Xi Zhaitai's most important task in Taiyuan Prefecture was to bring back Lu HaiKong, who had gone rogue.
Compared to attacking from Changshan Commandery and fighting all the way to Wucheng to retrieve Lu HaiKong, it would be much easier for the army to depart from Taiyuan Prefecture, enter Shangdang Prefecture below, and directly reach Wucheng to bring back Lu HaiKong.
However, the governor of Shangdang Prefecture and Lu HaiKong's side had little contact, so it might not be easy to convince the governor to allow Lu HaiKong's army to pass through.
Since Xi Zhaitai had spent a long time with Lu HaiKong, he directly employed the most violent method. Recently, the Yellow Turbans, who had been dormant for a while in Yunzhong, Dingxiang, and the three commanderies of Yanmen, began to act again, infiltrating Shangdang Prefecture in large numbers.
This was very much in Lu HaiKong's style: on one hand, they sent the Pretender Yellow Turbans into Shangdang Prefecture, and once the party was in chaos, Xi Zhaitai would enter Shangdang Prefecture under the pretext of suppressing the rebellion. If the governor of Shangdang Prefecture was obedient, there would be no issues, and Xi Zhaitai would temporarily take over Shangdang Prefecture, then mobilize forces to search for Lu HaiKong...
