Chapter 549: Yan Liang vs Xu Chu
Chapter 549: Yan Liang vs Xu Chu
September 25, 2017
Jiuzhou, Julu, outside Guangping City.
At this moment, a cavalry unit of about two to three thousand emerged, led by a burly warrior with a broad back and a bear-like waist.
This warrior held a massive blade, and his aura was astonishing, clearly indicating that he was an exceptional martial general!
As soon as he appeared, he charged directly towards Xu Chu, shouting loudly, "Han thief, let Grandpa Yan Liang of your family taste my blade!"
Upon hearing these words, many Outsiders in Huangfu Song's army were stunned, wondering if the world had gone awry. When did Yan Liang become a part of the Yellow Turban group?
Strictly speaking, Yan Liang couldn't be considered a member of the Yellow Turban group; instead, he should be regarded as a general under Zhang Daosheng.
Zhang Daosheng, as a disciple of the Yellow Turban Dao, had access to an immense amount of resources. There was no reason for Lu Haikong's subordinates to have so many historical martial generals, yet not a single one was under his command? Yan Liang was one of the historical martial generals serving under him.
Previously, there were rumors within the Yellow Turban Dao that someone in Jiuzhou had subdued one of the Four Pillars of Hebei. It was quite evident that this person was Zhang Daosheng!
Yan Liang was unaware that his appearance had shocked many Outsiders. By this time, his skills had nearly brought him to Xu Chu's front.
Xu Chu, on the other hand, had already challenged several times, and this was the first time someone had come out to engage in battle. Xu Chu was somewhat excited and immediately went to meet the challenge.
A moment later, in history, and in the Historical Romance, Yan Liang and Xu Chu, who had never fought before, clashed!
At this point, Xu Chu was slightly younger than Dian Wei, perhaps by two or three years. Consequently, his strength had not yet developed to the same level as Dian Wei's, and his current strength value was only 92.
Yan Liang, on the other hand, was slightly stronger than Wen U, and he had been following Zhang Daosheng for some time, receiving cultivation. His strength value was also precisely 92.
These two fellows were indeed well-matched opponents, and their battle was fiercely contested!
Almost from the start, the warhorses under them had been extinguished, and the two robust warriors, wielding blades over three meters long, fought on foot, creating a breathtaking scene.
Sand flew, and the ground cracked without needing to be said. The attacks of these two warriors even came with sound effects.
One exuded a malevolent aura, and with each strike, there was a faint roar like a tiger's cry, as if an ancient fierce tiger had come to life. The other's aura was explosively terrifying, and with each slash, there seemed to be a faint rumble of thunder, resembling a thunder god.
Witnessing the battle between these two, both sides were dazzled!
The soldiers observing them had a look in their eyes as if they were witnessing divine beings. It seemed they had never seen a battle of this caliber!
Cao Cao, standing beside Huangfu Song, saw Xu Chu engaged in a bitter struggle with Yan Liang. Unconsciously, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. Huangfu Song, beside him, couldn't help but furrow his brows, never expecting that there would be such a formidable martial general among the Yellow Turban Army!
However, he wasn't overly concerned. In terms of martial arts, he was more advanced than Cao Cao. He could discern that in the battle between Xu Chu and Yan Liang, it was quite evident that Xu Chu was slightly stronger.
Indeed, after fighting for over a hundred rounds, Yan Liang gradually began to waver!
Just as it seemed he would be defeated within a hundred or two hundred rounds, a Yellow Turban martial general emerged, brandishing a massive blade and charging towards Xu Chu!
This Yellow Turban martial general was none other than Guan Hai, renowned as the first martial general among the Outsiders.
Guan Hai, as the first martial general in the Outsiders' perception, had already demonstrated remarkable abilities in both history and the Historical Romance. Not to mention in this world, where the strength of Yellow Turban martial generals had generally received a significant boost. This fellow's strength had already reached a level of 95.
With a strength of 95, he was already three points stronger than the younger version of Xu Chu before him, let alone when he teamed up with Yan Liang. Not long after he entered the fray, Xu Chu narrowly escaped death.
Seeing this, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun, standing behind Cao Cao, glared fiercely, ready to rush forward.
"Shameless thief, how dare you! Take this spear from your old man, Zhang!"
A furious shout rang out, and from within the Han army, Zhang Fei, by Liu Bei's side, charged forward!
Zhang Fei's arrival alleviated Xu Chu's crisis, but it was still a little too late. Xu Chu, under the combined assault of Guan Hai and Yan Liang, managed to barely survive, but not without a deep gash across his chest. Fortunately, he wore armor and had thick skin, so he didn't die, but his fighting ability was essentially gone.
Now, Zhang Fei was once again facing a two-on-one situation.
Luckily, Guan Yu quickly followed Zhang Fei, providing swift support, preventing Zhang Fei from suffering the same fate as Xu Chu, besieged and overwhelmed.

Both Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, the two brothers, possessed a strength of 94, and their combat prowess was exceptional. Moreover, after several months of fighting together, they had developed a good understanding, and during the battle, they unleashed an astonishing level of strength, directly suppressing Yan Liang and Guan Hai.
In fact, if we solely compare top-tier warriors, the Yellow Turban side would likely be inferior to the Han Dynasty if they didn't have historical warriors like Yan Liang on their side.
After all, the Han Dynasty had five or six top-tier warriors, and that's not even counting those who hadn't made an appearance yet. Dong Zhuo had Lu Bu and Hua Xiong, while Sun Jian was also a formidable warrior. On the other side, there were still three more, and what about the Yellow Turbans? It's estimated that another Zhang Liang would be enough to challenge them.
The Han camp's Outsiders were quietly calculating this, and whether the Yellow Turbans had any more top-tier warriors was indeed an unknown.
However, the Yellow Turbans should have been quite confident in winning this battle. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many Outsiders among their ranks, and they wouldn't be unaware of the Han warriors' capabilities.
Even knowing the strength of the Han warriors, they still sent Yan Liang and Guan Hai into battle, and no one would believe they didn't have any hidden cards up their sleeves!
Just as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were suppressing Yan Liang and Guan Hai, more and more Yellow Turban generals joined the fight.
Zhang Yan, Zhang Niugiao, Bu Yi, Peng Tuo, Hu Cai, Deng Mao, Sun Zhong, Li Yue, He Man, He Yi, Liu Pi, Huang Shao, and Bian Xi...
A total of twelve Yellow Turban warriors charged forward, and all of them were historical warriors. Their historical ratings were all above 80, with Zhang Yan reaching an impressive 88.
In terms of strength, these warriors' abilities didn't even reach 90, and logically, they shouldn't have been qualified to join the battle against Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
But they did join the fight, perhaps due to the martial arts they had learned from Zhang Jiao. These twelve warriors fought as one, and despite having only 80-something strength, they forced Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to retreat step by step after their appearance...
