Chapter 525: Gao Lan Takes Action
Chapter 525: Gao Lan Takes Action
September 25, 2017
Outside the city gates of Liangqi, Cheng Lian had been intermittently shouting for nearly half an hour, but there was no response from the city walls.
Lu HaiKong was admiring the caution of the Yellow Turbans when Yu Du suddenly led a cavalry unit and charged out.
When it came to the Yellow Turbans, people often associated them with poverty and hardship. Their most famous troops were infantry, giving the impression that the Yellow Turbans shouldn't have cavalry.
In fact, the Yellow Turbans did have cavalry, at least in this world, and their numbers were not small. Yu Du alone led five thousand cavalry, and apart from these, he also brought twenty thousand Yellow Turban warriors who charged directly towards Lu HaiKong.
The fact that Yu Du could lead out so many troops showed the extent of his influence in Liangqi.
"Oh, I didn't expect you to actually fall for the trick?" Lu HaiKong smiled, as he had been prepared to face a closed door for several days, seeing how calm and composed Liangqi had been.
"Lu HaiKong, you dog thief, come out and face your death!"
At this moment, from among Yu Du's troops, a burly man with a thick beard and a large knife in hand charged out, exuding a domineering aura as he rushed towards Lu HaiKong.
"How dare you be so reckless!"
Cheng Lian, who was already at the forefront, had a cold glint in his eyes. He raised his Guandao and met the Han warrior head-on, and in an instant, the two warriors were engaged in a fierce battle.
Cheng Lian was a historical warrior, and his strength value had increased to 83. With Lu HaiKong's guidance, he had also studied the blade techniques 'Heart of the Black Sky Demon' and 'Blade of the Black Sky Demon', greatly increasing his combat power.
Logically, ordinary warriors should not be his match, but this Yellow Turban warrior fought with Cheng Lian fiercely and skillfully.
During their battle, Lu HaiKong casually cast an appraisal technique, and his eyes narrowed instantly.
In fact, this Yellow Turban warrior was not an ordinary person; he was another historical warrior named Left Zizhangba, who would later become one of the leaders of the Black Mountain Army. His martial skills were impressive, at least enough to challenge Cheng Lian.
Left Zizhangba (Historical Warrior)
Identity: Yellow Turban Warrior
Abilities:
Strength: 84, Politics: 30, Strategy: 30, Command: 45
Main Practiced Skill: Earthly Thickness Heart Technique
Main Practiced Blade Technique: Earthly Thickness Blade Technique
Warrior Trait: Divine Might Heavenly Grant
Divine Might Heavenly Grant: A personal warrior trait, when activated, the warrior's strength increases threefold for twenty minutes.
The strength of the Yellow Turban warriors in this world had significantly increased, perhaps due to these historical warriors practicing the heart techniques and blade techniques passed down by Zhang Jiao after joining the Yellow Turbans, greatly enhancing their abilities.
The Mysterious Shield Armor technique in Left Zizhangba's hands displayed astonishing power, and each strike was like a heavy mountain crashing down, causing the soldiers watching from afar to feel breathless.
On the other side, Cheng Lian's blade technique was also extraordinary, each strike carrying a captivating deadly aura. Despite having a slightly lower strength value, his combat power was not diminished in the slightest, and the two warriors fought fiercely, creating a shocking momentum.
Witnessing this scene, Zhang Mancheng, who was on the city walls, couldn't help but be surprised. When Left Zizhangba charged forward, he had thought that the Han warrior was surely doomed, as he knew too much about Lu HaiKong's strength. He had assumed that Left Zizhangba would be instantly killed with a single strike.
However, not only was Left Zizhangba not killed, but he also fought admirably, even showing signs of gaining the upper hand. This not only surprised Zhang Mancheng about Left Zizhangba's strength but also made him feel that Lu HaiKong might not be as formidable as he thought.
And at this moment, the battle below had already reached its climax.
【Divine Might Descends】
Left Zizhangba, a subordinate of Cheng Lian, directly activated his Martial Skill, and his already robust figure seemed to have grown even more formidable, and the power of his blade increased significantly.
【A Desperate Fight】
On the other side, Cheng Lian also unleashed his Martial Skill, and his Strength Value increased by three points, causing his combat power to surge. With this, not only did he not get suppressed by Left Zizhangba who had activated his skill, but he started to gain the upper hand.
The back-and-forth between the two, with their ultimate moves being unleashed one after another, made for a truly thrilling battle scene.
However, seeing that Left Zizhangba was clearly at a disadvantage, Yu Du couldn't bear to watch any longer. If he continued watching, Left Zizhangba would surely lose, so he charged forward with his spear.
Zhao Er saw this, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. Just as he was about to step in to help, a voice rang out.
"General Zhao, how about letting this battle be mine?"
In a 6, 1, 9, 1, and 8 book, there is no wrong version!
The speaker was none other than Gao Lan, one of the Four Pillars of Hebei who had recently joined Lu HaiKong's forces. Having just joined Lu HaiKong's command, Gao Lan hadn't had a chance to showcase his abilities yet, and he didn't want to miss this opportunity.
Zhao Er was taken aback by his words. He glanced at Gao Lan, then at Lu HaiKong, and seeing Lu HaiKong nod, Zhao Er nodded and stepped back.
"Thank you, Lord and General Zhao, for this opportunity!"
Gao Lan smiled upon hearing this, gave Zhao Er a fist bump, and then rode his horse into the fray.
At this moment, Yu Du also joined the battle. The two historical generals fought together, and even though Cheng Lian had activated his Martial Skill, raising his Strength to 86, he still couldn't withstand the onslaught of two historical generals with Strength over 80. He could only fight while retreating.
Even though Cheng Lian wanted to retreat, it wasn't easy with the two of them holding him back. In a short while, Cheng Lian sustained some minor injuries.
Just as Cheng Lian was about to be taken down, Gao Lan charged forward.
Zhang Mancheng, watching from the city wall, narrowed his eyes at this sight, but he wasn't too worried. He had already sent reinforcements when Left Zizhangba and Cheng Lian were fighting.
With two against two, Yu Du and Left Zizhangba just needed to hold on a little longer. Zhao Hong and Han Zhong, Zhang Mancheng's generals, would arrive soon. Then, with four against two, it would be easy to take down Cheng Lian and Gao Lan.
Of course, this was Zhang Mancheng's plan, not reality!
"General Cheng Lian, don't panic! Gao Lan is here!"
With a loud shout, Gao Lan charged forward, brandishing his giant axe and swinging it towards Left Zizhangba.
Left Zizhangba, seeing that Gao Lan was actually confronting him head-on, flashed a hint of disdain in his eyes. He had never feared anyone in terms of strength, especially not after activating his Martial Skill. Left Zizhangba channeled all his power and clashed with Gao Lan, aiming to slash him back with one strike.
But just as their blades met, a force even more terrifying than his own surged forth. Left Zizhangba's guandao trembled and was sent flying by Gao Lan's axe, and without stopping, Gao Lan's giant axe continued its momentum, splitting Left Zizhangba in two.
To think that a historical general who used an axe as his weapon would be stronger than him... Gao Lan could only apologize for thinking too much.
