Chapter 555: A Perilous Situation
September 25, 2017
Outside Guangping City, the Yellow Turban Sect boldly launched their attack, making Lu HaiKong keenly aware of the meaning behind the saying, 'If the phoenix doesn't cry, it surprises all when it does.'
The Yellow Turbans' bizarre techniques were so peculiar that even Lu HaiKong, an Outsider, was overwhelmed. Fortunately, he had parted ways with Huangfu Song earlier; otherwise, his current situation would likely have been dire.
Not to mention, if Lu HaiKong's Bloodstained Legion and the Imperial Guard Legion were to lose three-tenths of their forces, he would be devastated.
However, Lu HaiKong was relatively relaxed at the moment, watching the light screen before him while pondering when would be the best time to intervene in this battle.
You heard right; Lu HaiKong intended to intervene in this war.
This was never in question from the very beginning.
Lu HaiKong's split with Huangfu Song was merely to preserve his strength, fearing being used as cannon fodder by others.
As for the Yellow Turban Sect, he still intended to eradicate them. On one hand, he had eliminated Zhang Bao, and now, the Yellow Turbans were his mortal enemies. If he didn't deal with them, they would come after him.
More importantly, Lu HaiKong was also counting on the Book of Heavenly Peace within Julu to save Xi Zhicai, and he was certain of the Yellow Turban Sect's inevitable demise.
The longer Lu HaiKong stayed in this world, the more he understood it. He was well aware that the Yellow Turbans had reached their end.
Even if they managed to defeat Huangfu Song's legion, it was still uncertain whether they could defeat this army!
In Jiuzhou, Julu Prefecture, outside Guangping City.
Bo Cai, one of the highest commanders in the Yellow Turban Army, had an astonishing command rating of 90.
Under his leadership, the five million Yellow Turban warriors displayed incredible tenacity.
His tactical objective was simple: to pin down Huangfu Song's and Zhu Jun's armies, allowing the subsequent waves of Yellow Turban forces to surround and annihilate them!
Bo Cai indeed achieved this. Under his blockade, Huangfu Song's army couldn't move at all.
On one hand, the Yellow Turban warriors' strength was formidable, and Bo Cai's command was exceptional. On the other hand, the Han Army's morale was low.
There was no choice; after being repeatedly harassed by the Yellow Turban Army, the Han Army had not completely collapsed, which was already impressive. At this point, how could they expect their morale to be high?
Even Dong Zhuo's formidable army of tigers and wolves showed signs of despondency and decline. If the battle continued, they would likely be defeated soon.
In this situation, Huangfu Song drew his sword from his waist and held it high!
He didn't say a word, nor did he need to. As he raised his sword, his aura merged with that of the entire Han Army.
The soldiers under his command, under Zhu Jun's command, under Dong Zhuo's command, and under Liu Bei's command, nearly two hundred thousand soldiers, had their auras connected as one with Huangfu Song as the focal point.
In this state, the soldiers who had been torn apart individually were once again united. Their personal anxiety, unease, and fear were dispersed when they felt the presence of their comrades behind them.
In its place rose courage, courage from the depths of their hearts.
"Righteous charge, death without regret!"
A sense of righteousness rose, and the Han Army's morale instantly soared to its peak. The strength of the Han soldiers also increased by several points!
This was the role of a top-tier commander in battle; they were the pillars of their armies, ensuring they wouldn't collapse no matter what.
As the Han soldiers' morale rose, the battle once again took a turn.
The Han soldiers no longer retreated but instead surrounded the five thousand Yellow Turban Warriors. Zhu Jun, Dong Zhuo, and Liu Bei, all instinctively handed over command to Huangfu Song.
On one side, there were nearly two hundred thousand soldiers, led by Huangfu Song's activation of Righteous Charge, with strength values almost all above thirty-five points. On the other side, there were five thousand Yellow Turban Warriors with strength values barely reaching thirty points. The battle quickly tilted in favor of the Han Army.
The Han Army gained the upper hand, but as the twenty thousand Yellow Turban Army joined from all directions, the situation changed once again.
The armies on both sides reached a balanced state, although the Han Army had the top-tier commander, Huangfu Song. However, Bo Cai was not to be underestimated, and the battle raged fiercely as both sides clashed.
Even this intense battle couldn't last long.
The Yellow Turbans had prepared extensively for this battle; how could they settle for a mere balanced state?
Soon, within Guangping City, a group of no more than five thousand Yellow Turban Warriors suddenly appeared among Huangfu Song's army!
In the 1619 book, there is no mistake!
No one knew how they had arrived, but these three-meter-tall Yellow Turban Warriors smashed down, and their mere appearance claimed the lives of thousands of Han soldiers.
These were the true Yellow Turban Warriors, with immense strength, impervious to blades and guns, each with a strength value above sixty.
Their presence directly turned the tide of battle, putting the Han Army in a perilous situation.
As the Han Army struggled, the Han warriors on the other side also faced a dire situation.
Zhang Liang's power exceeded their imagination, and his equipment was even more so.
At first, they didn't realize this until Zhang Fei found an opportunity to stab Zhang Jiao with a spear, only then discovering the true extent of Zhang Jiao's golden armor's defense.
Zhang Fei's full-strength strike could only leave a white mark, and instantly, the thought of flashed through the minds of Lu Bu and the others. Is this battle still winnable?
If your opponent is stronger and better equipped, stabbing them leaves them unharmed, but they can take your life with a single strike.
At this moment, Zhang Fei and the others deeply felt the helplessness of noob players facing rich players.
"This won't do. This guy is too strong. We must find a way to kill those twelve Yellow Turban Warriors!"
Guan Yu struggled to hold his ground while speaking to Lu Bu and Zhang Fei by his side.
It was clear that Zhang Liang's strength lay in his warrior traits. Only by capturing those twelve generals and breaking their warrior traits could they defeat Zhang Liang.
This analysis was thorough, but currently, with Zhang Liang suppressing the three of them, it would be difficult for the remaining two to hold on without him. The twelve Yellow Turban Warriors had already joined the battle, and they couldn't locate them for the time being.
In this situation, Zhang Fei spoke his mind, "If only Lu Hai Kong were here. His cavalry is so powerful that he could surely find those twelve Yellow Turban Warriors amidst the army!"
