Chapter 547: Huangfu Song's Martial General Trait
2017-09-25
The war situation in Jiuzhou was closely monitored by the bigwigs in Luoyang.
Of course, their primary focus was on the battle between Huangfu Song and the Yellow Turban Army, and at this time, they chose to ignore Lu HaiKong, who was 'acting up'.
It wasn't that they completely disregarded Lu HaiKong, but rather, they decided to put him on hold, intending to deal with him after Huangfu Song had dealt with the Yellow Turban Army.
In their eyes, Lu HaiKong was merely a petty troublemaker who was taking advantage of his military power and the backing of Zhang Ran, acting as if they had some authority, were nothing more than a nuisance.
If it were anyone else, they would have dealt with him long ago, but Lu HaiKong was different. This guy wasn't an ordinary person; not only did he command tens of thousands of troops, but he was also from a background of mountain bandits. The bigwigs in the entire court had only heard of his name and never seen him in person, including Zhang Ran.
No one dared to claim they understood such a person, and if they were to take action against him at this time, he might just rebel and make the situation interesting.
Another point was that the main force of the Yellow Turban Army had not been completely wiped out, and at this time, they had no troops to spare. The power in Lu HaiKong's hands was not insignificant, and they might still need his help, so these bigwigs chose to ignore Lu HaiKong and pretend they didn't see the conflict between him and Huangfu Song.
Their attention was now focused on Huangfu Song. When they learned that Huangfu Song was preparing to attack Qu Liang, they closely monitored the war zone on this side!
This battle at Qu Liang was a crucial war for Huangfu Song, as it meant he would be knocking on Julu's door and was also a battle to restore his prestige. Therefore, in this battle, Huangfu Song brought out his full abilities and launched a full-scale attack on Qu Liang!
To be honest, although Huangfu Song's army of ten thousand rarely had advanced troops, almost all of them were intermediate-level soldiers.
A large number of them were soldiers with a strength of 25 or above, and there were even a few elite troops that were nearly on par with advanced troops. With the addition of the martial generals cultivated by Huangfu Song as the backbone, the strength of such an army could only be known when it was fully deployed.
Xu Chu's challenge yielded no results, and no one in Qu Liang City paid him any attention. Under these circumstances, with a single order from Huangfu Song, his ten thousand troops began their assault on the city!
A war with over ten thousand participants was rarely seen in the original historical records and the Historical Romance, where few could fully control their armies. However, in this world, some of the most exceptional commanders had achieved this level of control.
But there weren't many truly exceptional commanders, and Lu HaiKong currently had none under his command. If Lu HaiKong were to lead the troops himself without the martial general trait boost, it would be challenging for him to meticulously control even a single ten-thousand-strong army.
Lu HaiKong's inability did not mean Huangfu Song was incapable; on the contrary, he belonged to the most exceptional category.
In Huangfu Song's hands, the ten thousand troops seemed like a pair of nimble arms, completely under his control.
The massive army operated smoothly under his command, and you couldn't see a hint of clumsiness; instead, it was incredibly agile.
Every person is a complex entity, so don't assume that because Huangfu Song suffered at the hands of Lu HaiKong, he is incompetent; these are two entirely different concepts.
From the beginning, Lu HaiKong had targeted Huangfu Song. Whether intentional or not, with the added disadvantage of unequal intelligence, Lu HaiKong was left in disarray.
In the midst of battle, Huangfu Song's very first move made the Han Army realize just how powerful this man was!
Within Qu Liang City, there were at least fifty thousand troops. Although this number was less than the army in Ye City, every single one of them was a Yellow Turban warrior. They were a level stronger than the Yellow Turban rebels in Ye City, and more importantly, Qu Liang had a Martial General stationed, and the city was well-equipped with defensive structures.
If one were to make a comparison, this army's strength was no weaker than that of Lu Zhi in Wucheng, not to mention this was without considering the commander's ability!
Yet, under Huangfu Song's assault, this city was conquered in less than two hours, reaching the city walls!
This was incredibly unbelievable. When Zhang Liang led ten thousand troops to attack Wucheng, it took several days to capture the city, but Huangfu Song, with just one move, took less than two hours to reach the city walls of a similarly defended city!
Regardless of how one looked at it, this was a miraculous feat, wasn't it?
In reality, Huangfu Song's achievement relied on his exceptionally high command ability and his Martial General trait, or perhaps it should be said, his command trait!

Martial General Trait: Righteous Charge (Unique), Battle Control [Ally Side] (Unique)
In the OneSixOneNineBookBarOneLookNoErrorVersion!
Righteous Charge (Unique): ???
Battle Control [Ally Side]: Passive trait, enhances command over the army!
An existence so powerful it defies the heavens, up until now, he is undoubtedly one of the most formidable commanders Lu HaiKong has ever seen.
After much calculation, it is estimated that only Zhang Mancheng, who has fully mastered the [War as Chess], can rival this guy.
The current Huangfu Song only utilized a passive Martial General trait, and this trait allows him to have complete control over his army. Although it doesn't enable Huangfu Song's troops to unleash greater combat power, it allows him to utilize his soldiers more effectively.
In a certain sense, Huangfu Song's passive trait is somewhat similar to Zhang Mancheng's [War as Chess], but its effect is not as heaven-defying as [War as Chess].
With the same army, Huangfu Song's control, compared to Zhang Mancheng's, the power Zhang Mancheng can unleash is absolutely stronger than Huangfu Song's, and his command is smoother.
However, this doesn't necessarily mean Zhang Mancheng is definitely stronger than Huangfu Song, after all, this is just one of Huangfu Song's Martial General traits, and who would win in a real battle between them is hard to tell.
Additionally, there's another point, that guy Zhang Mancheng, although captured by Lu HaiKong, has a stubborn bone in his body, it's uncertain whether he will surrender or not.
If this guy is determined not to follow Lu HaiKong, even if Zhang Mancheng is stronger, it has nothing to do with Lu HaiKong!
Shifting the focus back to the battlefield, under Huangfu Song's command in his heaven-defying war mode, the Yellow Turban Army within Qu Liang City, despite their utmost resistance, still couldn't withstand the assault of Huangfu Song's ten thousand troops.
This battle, lasting less than a day, resulted in Qu Liang City being easily captured by Huangfu Song.
After this battle, no one dared to underestimate this veteran general who was made a mess of by Lu HaiKong!
